Smaller groups means less activity, though. And that's what's keeping communities alive.
I already wrote it in another comment, but I think subs should not be under instances in the hierarchy, but on the same level.
Yeah, we need subs that can exist on multiple instances at the same time. Two subs on different instances should be to link up so all posts are shared between the two, and that they have the same mod team.
So you’re not suggesting that all subs/communities would work like this but it could be a option right, a “cross-community” if you will, that is mirrored across different instances like a raid partition or something like that? Could be interesting!
Exactly. And just have the two communities sync to each other using ActivityPub. I haven't worked with fediverse code before, but it seems like it would work.
