Is Lemmy.world centralization worth fighting against? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Probably a very polarizing question.

On the one hand, having most of the users and communities on LW causes technical issues (see this post), and also gives the LW staff too much power over Lemmy as a whole.

On the other hand, with 18k MAU on LW out of 47k (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/), every community listed there has a much higher chance of visibility compared to an alternative hosted on another instance

@[email protected], I wanted to ask you about something: I posted to [email protected] in the past, but it seems that now the community isn't actively moderated, and on the other side [email protected] is getting a resurgence.

Do you think it is worth it trying to post to the lemmy.ca one, or should we go with the flow and post on the LW one to make it grow?

We were actually checking into this recently! While the mods look inactive from the post history, there is an active mod keeping an eye on the community.

I'm planning to make more posts to [email protected], and while I'm not sure which one will be best in the long run, I want to try and see if we can grow this one.

As for the other communities, I'm planning to go through and clean up moderation sometime in the next little while :)

Alright, good to know! I see if I can find stuff to post there, but usually I post to [email protected] as there is some overlap, and the community got some traction a few days ago
