Well, can’t you just go to a Lemmy server and click “create community”?
Comment on We should have something like federated communities
mojo@lemm.ee 1 year agoDefinitely not.
For every individual community you would have to pay for a domain, maintain the instance, keep it updated, keeping it secure, and keeping it paid. That’s really difficult already with a single server, let alone multiple for multiple servers and domains.
It’d also still have the problem of multiple communities with the same topic, so it’s not solving anything.
How do you expect people to migrate to Lemmy if these are the ridiculous hoops they’re expected to do to start a community. Instead, they can just go to reddit and click a “create subreddit” button instead. What option do you think they’d choose?

Yes, they’re saying they’d rather get rid of that and have the entire Lemmy server be dedicated to one community.

How do you expect people to migrate to lemmy when you have the five thousand people split amongst ten servers with world news

That’s the beauty of decentralization and should be encouraged that way. Those are two different problems though. The issue of different servers with the same community topics is being figured out right now, the devs have a couple different ideas on how they’re tackling that. The other issue is onboarding, so finding a server and signing up is much simpler and streamlined. These are both issues that can be greatly improved upon.
