    In theory one of the communities would start to hit critical mass and everyone would go there. Initially on Reddit we saw the issue where everyone wanted their sub to he the sub on a topic but eventually that cooled off. Federated will just take a little longer.

    I think one thing that would help is if people creating servers would be more themed or selective on their topics. I’m specifically on an instances based on my physical location. I can subscribe to sports or tech or whatever on other servers so i wont be creating those communities here. Hopefully everyone else does the same. But if not then at least there are communities on the topic.

      Ehh, even on Reddit I was subbed to ~5 generic gaming subs. I think you’re right though, there will be themed federated servers. Which does come with their own issues, basically creating super-mods again purely by their nature. (but at least they’ll need to put their money where their mouth is this time around)
