I feel like this instance is getting too big and all the content is being centralized here. Am I right or there are other instances thriving too?
Wherever I go I keep seeing lots of lemmy.world users and communities and kind of feel worried about centralization.
But all the communities on lemmy.world would be lost. I was hoping that communities could be forked and run on a different server if needs arise, like we can do with Git repositories.
This is kinda already happening. Searching for tech gives me more than 3 communities that are about the same thing, all in different instances
I’m more thinking about old threads. I used to search in subreddits because some information is still useful after years (guides for games, comments on movies/series, …). The information, e.g. this thread, will only be in one instance. Even if there’s a similar community in another instance, this thread will die with lenny.world.
