I for one have stopped posting any content to lemmy.ml communities.

    As long as it’s not only lemmy.world communities you start growing. Centralization won’t lead to good outcomes anywhere.

      Absolutely! Grow a community on any instance that doesn’t allow the kind of users that lemmy.ml does I say.

      I think we gave them too much power by making their communities as big as we did

      Yeah, we’d hate to make a good alternative when everyone can just use Bluesky and Meta.

      The hate for .world simply because of size doesn’t make sense to me. It’s fine to make new (unique) communities elsewhere, but shunning the biggest successful communities on .world to try to grow empty communities on other instances is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

      If you’re constantly shunning the biggest instance simply for being big, you’ll end up killing Lemmy.
