    Yeah, at this point feel like it’d be more helpful for some communities to exist bu restrict posts and redirect people to instances that have an established community so serving as a guide on where to go.

    Much like how back on reddit there’d be subs that only served that purpose of redirecting users to the main community despite having millions of active users.

      Because people can have their own community, just like on reddit? The only reason on reddit that you saw those redirects was because people got that community name and did it themselves. In a small amount of cases, it might have been for the standard communities that reddit set up in the beginning too, but there should be very few like that.

        Never was questioning that. Was more a comment on the small size of the userbase, and how it’s led to some created communities that ended up dead fast as some communities haven’t had the numbers to sustain activity. By all means there’s nothing preventing people from doing what they want.

        Just a observation pondering about what can be done to help activity of created communities taking into consideration the decentralized nature of the fediverse.

          I see someone said lower down that the one you’re talking about is run by controlling people from reddit, I see options as better to combat that sort of thing.

            Like I said there is nothing keeping people from making communities.
