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.
Btw the anser to your original question… the key to growth is allowing all opinions to free flow, good and bad, its the only real way to discussion and truth that is interesting and uncensored, also grow communities by constantly posting…. Ppl want new material, interesting material …… also reply to comments and joke around alot, try not to be so serious but get serious and stick to your beliefs when challenged on them however keep an open mind to things you haven’t considered… also when making claims in posts, a quick fact check goes a long way
Kind of disagree with this. Its an effective approach for one target audience, but wont work at all for other audiences. The cool thing is that thanks to federation, there can be many instances with completely different approaches (like lemmy.ml vs wolfballs.com), each with a completely different approach. In the end, all of us will benefit from a more active network.
I agree with you, especially on the new and fun content part
