    Fait question, as I am an Admin on feddit.uk.

    My thinking is that I try and keep the communities I start on feddit.uk to UK specific ones or ones that have a UK angle. If it’s more general, like sleep paralysis, I will put it on lemmy.world as the largest general instance (for example: !categoryiii@lemmy.world). If it was on a specific topic I might fish round for an instance that covers the topic (no film or Star Wars instances are holding me back from that at the moment).

      I see.

      I follow more or less the same logic, but still try to keep communities on other generalist instances (lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works), as the centralization of Lemmy on LW is detrimental from a performance perspective: https://lemmy.world/post/13967373

        Yes, I should spread the love a bit more but currently only have a l.w alt. If a film focused instance started, I’d probably move some communities off here to there, as long as I was sure it was here to stay (the last one went down when the person running it disappeared).

          (the last one went down when the person running it disappeared).

          Yes, that’s still sad to this day
