Comment on Proposal to create a collective to own the topic-based Lemmy instances

I don't run any instances, but that does seem potentially like a pretty neat idea.
I am really curious about the unexpected behaviors of your instance members though! What are they doing, just treating it as a general instance and not really engaging with the local theme?
I am not sure what “instance members” you are referring to, here.
The topic-based instances are closed for registration, so there are no users there.
If you are referring to the communick.news instance: it is only configured to have admins creating communities on it and the general instructions are to use fediverser.network as the place to discover communities.

Closed for registrations = no instance user accounts

I assumed, by *"They are not being as used as I expected/hoped."*, that the OP was implying, "*- by the members of said instances"*. And that the closed-registration bit was part of the proposal, not the existing state of affairs. I didn't realize their instances were already closed-registration.
