Problem is that a community as broad as a gaming one is bound to be subscribed my many user on many instances. Switching it to another one will only move the problem elsewhere, not fix it.
Is it? I always feel like for every topic the schema is
a community on LW
a community on another instance that exists mostly to avoid centralization on LW
As the sopuli community was more active, the LW admins closed down the LW one to focus all the activity on a single community
The idea would be to get all gaming related community on “games.lemmy.world”, and getting most games related communities to switch there, so external instances can subscribe to that specific instance without receiving all the other updates from other communities.
Seems very close to just hosting communities on other instances? From your message, I feel like people on LW want to keep communities on “LW instances”, I’m wondering why. Is it due to distrust with other instances? Lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works and lemmy.zip have been around as long as LW, have transparent financial reports and high availability times.
