Imagine my surprise to see you in here talking about LW centralization isn't good. You came onto a support question (link) for a community I had started with one of my concerns being the LW centralization and you quickly told me to abandon my community. Extremely weird considering you run a generic fantasy community which already exists in many places so felt a little kettle/pot.

Hello,

I'm actually happy to talk about LW centralization at large. It's a topic I like to discuss on [email protected], feel free to join us there.

To come back to your questions, there are different types of communities depending on how popular the topic is

very popular topics (tech, news, memes, politics) exist on Lemmy on a lot of different instances. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. They are all active, no need to worry about those.
moderately popular topics: in this case, usually there is a large LW community, and then a smaller non-LW community. A mentioned "movies" above as an example, there is a whole list at the end of this post.
low activity topics: here, there is only one community, and it's not that active. It is on LW, but the community is already so small that getting it active is a higher priority than bringing people to another instance. Examples: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

I feel like StarGate probably belongs in the third group, which is why I suggested you to consolidate with the existing LW communities.

Also, lemmy.ml have faced some powertripping complaints:

followed by some people organizing to get communities off there too: https://reddthat.com/post/20197120

Extremely weird considering you run a generic fantasy community which already exists in many places so felt a little kettle/pot.

Interesting, I had actually forgotten about that community, which is why the last post there is 2 months ago. I'll probably close it in the coming weeks and redirect elsewhere, after asking the community feedback.

On the other hand, I actively post to all of the following communities, to try to keep them off LW
