I’ve been grappling with thinking how the best implementation of this plays out for some time. I think in a perfect topological implementation of federation, moderately sized regional hubs would house lower sized social constructs. Midwest.social would have both state based and city based communities within the federation instance for example.
But that ideal probably causes both too much fragmentation of the already small and burgeoning community for the sake of placing things in neat packages.
In the interim, I guess we will have to make do with the formation of communities on whatever instances they spring up on. Feeling out the community creation vibe at beehaw however I don’t think geographic community based, er, communities are best suited for this instance vis-a-vis creating each newly provisioned community with the intent of measured growth to not create ghost towns that aren’t in use after a few months.
