I'm genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

Isn't this the overarching problem with lemmy just in general though? I mean, I'm loving it here, but without GOOD moderation any community, no matter where or how it's hosted, can become very bad very quickly. I'm not blaming you all at all!! I completely understand where you're coming from, but this is the same scaling issues that mastadon faces right? Is there any idea about how to address this?

The idea is federation. No instance is obligated to scale to thousands of users if they can't handle it. If somebody else thinks they can, they're welcome to try.

Reddit already relies on volunteer moderation. I don't see how this is a barrier at all.
