EDIT: Thank you all for your answers, now I’m reassured this platform is in good hands and we will always have the freedom to switch. Let’s make this place vibrant, diverse and decentralized, like the old web used to be.
I feel like this instance is getting too big and all the content is being centralized here. Am I right or there are other instances thriving too?
Wherever I go I keep seeing lots of lemmy.world users and communities and kind of feel worried about centralization.
Yeah, like how Spotify and the like are trying to take over Podcasts, which were designed to be open.
Heh, never been into Star Trek but I love how you guys have a Lemmy instance themed around it
TBH, I think the Startrek Community has the right idea.
I believe Lemmy instances should treat themselves like ye olde message boards. Have a specific interest and accommodate it. So a Star Wars instance, a Marvel Instance, a DIY instance etc… They should act like message boards, but with the key advantage of linking up with the greater federation.
Things like geography aren’t very conducive to finding content you’re interested in.
