We have a good chance now to see how well this theory works in reality. Exciting times!

Thanks for the example!

And they are now some (if not the) largest communities on those subjects on the Threadiverse (and the top communities on their instance), so I consider that point demonstrated.

It's like the original idea behind the Net - if a node goes down, everything shifts to accommodate. If the power posters switch to a specific community people will just use that more.

Reasons for starting a new community:

  • Avoid centralisation
  • Avoid tankie instances
  • If you don't agree with the current Mods or Admins

We've done all that and it has worked.

I say it worked out, I posted this that is about a topic that’s been getting banned in lemmy.world.
