when a potential new user comes to join the platform, they’re overwhelmed by the choices. And instead of having one big community of connected instances, we have multiple redundant communities which aren’t interacting at all

the user will just gravitate to whichever community has the most activity. that's what I did - I had subscribed to a bunch of news related communities so my "Subscribed/New" feed has new content. and then yesterday I went through and unsubscribed from the dead/inactive communities and noticed no difference in my feed.

this really just feels like a solution in need of a problem
