Comment on Am I getting this right? The vibe of different lemmy instances

Its kinda the point to me. I would like to see specific instances. Like there is one that was sorta an old school internet club that existed before federation but they made an instance for the members. Then like I totally think the world science fiction society should have one. It would make sense for them to not allow general comunities but instead put up a few for their things. Around science fiction literature. Then they also provide accounts to members. Maker spaces would be another. I would prefer a lot more smaller and niche instances than larger general ones.

There used to be more topical themed instances but some shut down

I mean I can see maker spaces shutting down but something like the science fiction society does the hugo awards and runs cons and their clientel are big nerds. It amazes me they would not run an instance. I mean instances like that would not have open sign up as an account would be part of membership but given their missions they are slam dunk for running certain communities.
