    By that logic it makes more sense to have one community mirrored over multiple instances. If one instance goes down the others just take over. No hassle for the users.

      I do think it would be beneficial if there was a way to have “super communities” or “sub-federation,” where communities with similar topics can opt in to the feature. Thus if a person subscribes to one of the communities with that feature, other communities with similar topics will appear in that thread.

      Ultimately, this would retain decentralization while increasing community discovery, which is a benefit to end-users.

        Yeah people have thrown around the idea of eventually doing something like that. So like you’d subscribe to “AccidentalRenaissance” and get all communities with that name as one feed or whatever.

        Hope that happens.

      But the point is to have different people in charge in case anyone gets full of themselves. See: reddit

        It’s a good idea actually and I could see maybe having some different mods and/or handing over one to someone else at some point.
