Most of the communities are empty or driven by a single person. I appreciate your efforts, but that:'s not how Lemmy works. Communities grow naturally, one by one. You cannot just create 20 communities and hope everybody is jumping in. We can be very happy we have some active communities such as !europe@feddit.org, that are not hosted on lemmy.world.
Besides natural growth, Lemmy is also about trust. It was not easy for !europe@feddit.org to gain trust back from its users after feddit.de failed, but over time it worked out and feddit.org managed to become a reliable and trusted instance within the lemmyverse.
Who promises us that europe.pub won’t go down in a month? Who moderates all these communities once they get bigger, that one posting person?
I’m not the creator of the instance. I just happened upon it and thought it’d be cool to share.
Pertaining empty and small communities, that’s how most communities start: one person creates it, people find it and contribute. Most don’t just go from 0 to thousands of contributors and followers in a second. It takes time.
Also, I don’t see multiple communities on different instances as a problem. We’re on the fediverse, not reddit. There doesn’t have to be one single “Europe” community. There can be a Europe community on a Europe loving instance, on a Europe hating instance, on an Italian instance and thus posting in Italian or from an Italian perspective, on a teddy bear instance that just talks about European teddy bears, whatever. It seems to me like the centralist mindset is still very ingrained in people despite being in a different place.
Also, I don’t understand the feddit.org thing. Why is a German instance “feddit.org” as if it’s the main feddit instance?
Looking around and in the terms
Europe Pub is operated and sponsored by Tobias Feistmantl, with servers hosted by Hetzner in Germany and is governed by Austrian law.
Yeah, looks like a single person and consequently a single point of failure.
To be fair, almost all instances started like this.
