this implies that servers should focus, like on news, tech, extreme sports, or whatever. rather than trying to be the hub for all topics the way reddit and others are?
Isn't that what communities and subreddits are for?
What I'm envisioning is smaller communities that aren't open to everyone like school / family / friends based communities.
After making the above comment I started reading about self hosting a lemmy instance with the idea that I might run one for my relatives and I to share photos, plan vacations, help w homework etc

really good points. Thanks for the thoughtful response. I find the forum format the most comfy, but I'm the techy one so I think you're right that others would probably prefer chats
