Then, about two days ago, Beehaw posted an announcement in their support community that they aren’t confident about the long-term use of Lemmy, due to so-called concerns about Lemmy.
I don’t think more users would fill out more of the same communities. There needs to be some kind of central way of syncing topics together so you don’t literally have fifteen of the same community over fifteen different servers. It’s not necessary, and at best it fragments the conversation because nobody knows where to go unless they default to the larger instances.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
Rules
Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it’s name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub’s intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don’t get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
The point of federation is that you don’t have one central entity that controls the whole thing and can do whatever they want. Like Reddit.
The emptiness is due to the number of users instead of federation. There just aren’t enough people creating content to sustain smaller communities.

This is the biggest issue. So many of the same communities spread across the different servers.
I’ve seen people suggest banding communities together. Seems like something to explore.
Aggregate meta communities. Not sure what sort of can of worms that is tho.
