  • Decenteralized systems in all it’s glory, but I think at some point we will need to address or come up with a solution on how we market niche communities.

    In reddit it was so simple to find your communities. Let’s say you grew interest in Balisongs, then you just type r/balisong and there you are. This helps discovery immensly.

    Doing this on a lemmy instance will only get you to that instance community. Which means you might have like 10 of these already niche communities spread out around different instances.

    Personally I’d think a system where an instance can promote or assign another instance community as the “main” one, with some type of backup feature, would help Lemmy grow.

    But I also think that opinion is controversial considering the nature of a decentralized system.
