The point is more federation, not less. Decentralizing prevents any big rifts in the fediverse from fracturing the community.

.world has come under a lot of fire for being centrist and having anti-violence policies. 196 actually moved from blahaj to world, and most of the users said they wouldn’t be going with it, because they don’t agree with the aforementioned policies.

if an instance has no users and only communities, then it’s less likely to be defederated by anyone, and easier to manage
I do the same thing (also because I don’t want to pay for tons of storage space lol) lemmy.mods4ever.com/communities

Can confirm, I host a very small instance with a few niche communities. Many subscribers, I don’t know of any defeds against me though. Plus it’s how I expect the fediverse to really grow naturally. Join a general one but then smaller instances of more niche topics. Kudos OP!
