I created an instance for a specific community (lemmy.world)

I created [email protected] a few months ago and then started seeing contraversies around moderation policies and federation that just don't apply to the type of content on dull mens club so I decided to make an instance solely to host that community.

[email protected]

I'm not sure if this has happened yet, but I like the idea of having a neutral instance that users can still visit regardless of what happens. There's no user signups, only admin/moderator accounts. Users have to use an account from a federated instance.

can i get a tldr on the content and defederation part?

[–] Die4Ever 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

if an instance has no users and only communities, then it's less likely to be defederated by anyone, and easier to manage

I do the same thing (also because I don't want to pay for tons of storage space lol) https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/communities

Can confirm, I host a very small instance with a few niche communities. Many subscribers, I don't know of any defeds against me though. Plus it's how I expect the fediverse to really grow naturally. Join a general one but then smaller instances of more niche topics. Kudos OP!

The point is more federation, not less. Decentralizing prevents any big rifts in the fediverse from fracturing the community.

.world has come under a lot of fire for being centrist and having anti-violence policies. 196 actually moved from blahaj to world, and most of the users said they wouldn't be going with it, because they don't agree with the aforementioned policies.
