They could, but as it currently stands media hosting on the fediverse… Sucks.
It’s obscenely expensive for everyone involved, and scales poorly. It’s just not ready to operate at scale at this point.
I’m sure it will get better, but large storage costs are better off being handled by a distributed file-system where a minimal level of duplication is baked in, but the storage load is reasonably spread out instead of fully duplicated on each peer.
There are technologies for this, but they all have their own issues. And tomorrow there will be n+1 distributed filesystems, fragmenting it further.
Might be an interesting project for Fediverser or !fedigrow@lemm.ee. Start with the most popular subreddit, create a Lemmy community on an appropriate instance, find mods and contributers (???, profit). Repeat with the next most popular subreddit.
Let’s build those same subreddits but free and on the Fediverse. Let’s see if they move here.
I’ve started doing that.
But ironically, I have had many posters call me an anti-american, Russian-sponsored employee of a troll farm because I started 10 communities on my first few days here! lmao

!fedigrow@lemm.ee
!newcommunities@lemmy.world
also !lemmy411@lemmy.ca and !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
I mean, it’s probably for onlyfans-ish porn. So probably they won’t want to move here.

That’s a satire article
Is there a list of the most active subreddits which don’t yet have a threadiverse counterpart?
