Probably a very polarizing question.

On the one hand, having most of the users and communities on LW causes technical issues (see this post), and also gives the LW staff too much power over Lemmy as a whole.

On the other hand, with 18k MAU on LW out of 47k (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/), every community listed there has a much higher chance of visibility compared to an alternative hosted on another instance

    Might it not be more beneficial for related communities to, in the way of the old web, highlight each other in pinned/featured posts and sidebars?

    I think this is an excellent idea, and I have tried to do this with subs like !spaceflight@sh.itjust.works. It would be great if this became standard practice, or a sort of reciprocal courtesy between communities.

    Any ideas for how to encourage mod communication?

      I would just DM the other mods. Worked quite well for me
