May the next iteration of the internet include more people journeying to smaller communities that fit them, and less scooping everyone up and exposing them to as much outrage as possible to addict them.

Ideally all social media use goes to near zero

this implies that servers should focus, like on news, tech, extreme sports, or whatever. rather than trying to be the hub for all topics the way reddit and others are?

  What I’m envisioning is smaller communities that aren’t open to everyone like school / family / friends based communities.
  
  After making the above comment I started reading about self hosting a lemmy instance with the idea that I might run one for my relatives and I to share photos, plan vacations, help w homework etc

    Do you need the persistence? threading? federation? Or would spinning up an instance of Zulip ( zulip.com ) with only your family as provisioned accounts on it work better?

  Isn’t that what communities and subreddits are for?
