How do we expand (lemmy.ml)

Most of the communities are on one instance i.e .ml. Should we spin up more instances and start spreading communities either by location, interests, etc? Maybe, I am wrong but do mod/s who run the communities understand the idea of "decentralized social networks" or this is just to get few brownie points to start the community and increase the traffic? Please correct me if I am wrong.

No offence, just an observation.

I’m new, just got tired of the ever increasing homogeneity on Reddit. Feels so artificial now. This communities small which is a good thing for maintaining that human feeling maybe? lol. Maybe that sense of community divorced from mass adoption and corporate interest is a good value to uphold. Idk that’s just how I feel rn as I take my morning shit. Glad to be here guys!

I am newb as well. I heard about it before " decentrilized concept", but was to busy in my own world, like most of us. Got tired of mainstream along with pandemic drove me to other side.

This is awesome concept, need to do some homework.
