    You post a lot for a few days/weeks and hope that people reply.

    No guarantee of success whatsoever.

    This may be a controversial opinion but I think it’s useless to split up conversations across 30.000 communities.

    We need maybe 30 communities at this point. Don’t believe me? Look at forums.

    This is again a self inflicted problem with Lemmy, similar to having one giant instance. It seems people go out of their way and make unwise decisions, like creating tons of communities without having an actual problem to solve.

      Funny to see you around so much, but I agree.

      I think that Beehaw’s model is the best: a limited amount of communities covering a large amount of topics.

      Community can ask for an additional community and discuss it with the mods.

      It gives some structure instead of all the ghost towns getting into All
