FYI, i see a lot of users joining, but not many people are actually subscribing to the communities. Subscribing to the communities you like will help them grow within the fediverse and be easier to discover!

    Hi! Great job with the server.

    It will be interesting how to manage duplicate communities across instances. I have made Dungeon World, Wanderhome, and Fighting Fantasy communities - the DW is a duplicate, as the one on this server didn’t come up when I searched initially (it does now).

    I have reached out to @Primarch to link up and figure things out, but assume this may be a bigger issue as the platform grows.

    Be interesting to see what a good approach might look like as things evolve!

      Yeah, unfortunately i dont have any answers there. Obviously i have no ways to influence other instances, but it will be interesting to see what happens in the future as lemmy continues to expand and grow. I would suspect it will probably play out like reddit, where there are duplicate communities (albeit with different names on reddit) where one gets far more popular than the other (say r/dnd vs r/dungeonsanddragons) and people naturally gravitate towards the one they prefer, the larger community or the smaller one.
