Otherwise, if we have a lot of medium sized instances but the most popular communities are hosted on just a few huge instances, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of distributing load across many instances?
If that’s the case, how do we solve the cumbersome user experience of having to subscribe to the same community over and over again across a ton of medium instances?
Just because you disagree with my opinion, doesn’t make it “the wrong thinking” 😊
I see what you mean, but there will always be someone who disagrees with the mods of a community. Instead of creating yet another c/ufo community, it would make more sense to create c/ufo_abductions fx. Your example is a good case for actually creating another c/ufo, but controversy is not going to be the issue every time someone wants to create an already existing community.
And I’m not saying there can’t be any duplicate communities at all. I just think admins should give it some thought, before creating the 8th c/technology community.
As @maegul@lemmy.ml also said, it would be something I would also take into consideration as well, if someone asked to have a community created on my instance.
