I’ve already started seeing a lot of redundant communities being made here that have already existed on other Lemmy instances, and lemmy.ml is at risk of centralization and overload, so now is a great time to raise awareness of other instances.
For science topics, mander.xyz has a lot of good ones set up, and [email protected] on slrpnk.net has been great!
edit: for new users - you can type ! to begin autofilling a community, even for ones on other instances, like I did for the solarpunk community above. It may take a few seconds for the autofill results to show up if you have a slow connection like me.
Great to see a topical rather than a generalist instance!
That’s what I thought when I set it up, I could either go broad with a few things I like, but I think if we’re going to really see lemmy expand we need to see topical servers. People are welcome to register on my server if they like, but I view it more as a “import this to yours instance to enhance your communities”.
