Most of the communities are on one instance i.e .ml. Should we spin up more instances and start spreading communities either by location, interests, etc? Maybe, I am wrong but do mod/s who run the communities understand the idea of “decentralized social networks” or this is just to get few brownie points to start the community and increase the traffic? Please correct me if I am wrong.

No offence, just an observation.

    Thanks, sort of make sense. Have to do a bit more reading. Should staff/mods of these communities on different servers have same usernames and/or passwords? Or different for the sake of security, ie if one user gets compromised, all instances will be at risk?

      A user from an instance can be staff on other instances, they don’t have to create different accounts. Ideally you’d have a different rooster of mods on each subcommunity and only keep the same admins.
