  • It’s a really hard thing to decide and I’m not sure what the right thing to do is.

    I feel like if the main goal is to make this instance as good as possible for local users making many small specific communities would be best.

    But form how I understand lemmy that would also make it more annoying for people from other instances to get all programming related topics from here if they don’t want to leave their home instance. That would also include people that run their own private instances.

    Although that my second point could be addressed if lemmy adds a “all” feed so that one could subscribe to all communities of an instance or untill that is available a automatic repost bot could be set up to collect all posts on an instance into one feed.

    But I don’t really know what the best way would be just writing down my thoughts on the subject. I’m sure whatever way you go lemmy users will find a way to enjoy this instance and community!


  • I would start out allowing mostly everything programming related and only creating more specific communities once the posts for a specific topic start spamming this one.

    All nice organization doesn’t help if the created communities are not used by anyone as the seem to small to be worth the bother. That’s at least how I think about it. Just leave it open for most posts until the need arises to split specific topics off.
