So you are saying Mastodon won’t take off because people need to choose a server but also because having a “default” where majority will ptobably end up is bad - but this is literally the solution to the problem you mentioned

Thanks!

It’s still a cool bubble. The initial hype was bound to diminish, but it is still a cool little place. Has it’s own issues, but still. Here since the exodus, never looked back

I do too! Its incredibly handy

A good perspective I didn’t have.

What I meant is I have no idea how long it exists, so people might not have the luxury of using it to check for existing communities.

Didn’t mean to start a panic with bad wording :)

That’s partilly more on the people creating duplicates without looking if the community doesn’t exist already.

Granted, the lemmy explorer tool might not be around for too long for people to be easily able to - since someone on you instance needs to known a community exists on other instance and access it for everyone to see it. And some people might just not be aware of it as well.

Well… there has to be something lemmy does right I guess

Funilly enough, apparently they have enough server power and the bottleneck is the software. Or so I was told.
