MODERATORS

Lemmy is federated, but still, the instances with the most activity dominate people's feeds (self.lemmyworld)

Instances with funding sources will have the best hardware capable of supporting the largest communities, and will have the most activity, but then aren't people's feeds still influenced by capital, like with reddit, in the end?

I want to start a community, but feels like there is no point because I joined a fairly small instance dedicated to the UK, whereas the topic is not UK-related (Linux audio). So it feels like my community will get ignored and won't show in people's feeds.

Why not make the community on an instance better suited for it? You can still mod it from your main account on the uk instance.

I'm still getting familiar with the way lemmy works. So would I have to create a user on that instance, create the community and then make my main user a mod on the community? My understanding is that you cannot make a community on a different instance.
