In PieFed, communities are grouped under topics . Some of these topics are becoming quite big already (e.g. Technology and could perhaps be split up while there are probably very important topics that escaped my attention.
If you’d like a new topic, please suggest it in the comments below. There needs to be at least 3 reasonably active communities (active enough to have had a post in the last week) that can be put into the topic, to make it worth it.
Agreed. However if ‘Crafts’ was separate it’ll be very quiet.
Also dungeons and dragons is dominating ‘Hobbies’. Yet DnD feels way too niche to be it’s own topic.
For similar reasons, yesterday I split ‘Lemmy’ off from ‘Fediverse’ which I’m not 100% happy with.
Sub-topics wouldn’t stop the flooding of top-level topics but within them the sub-topics would provide more flood-free islands. We’re going to need the option for people to block individual communities, too.
