I made a blog post on my biggest issue in Lemmy and the proposed solutions for it. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Indeed, if these places are able to survive, they'll survive. No need to force it.

This kind of worship at the altar of efficiency is a big part of why we are losing our third places in society. Half the reason I'm here is to build. Not consolidate.

This is a brilliant and eloquent observation. My only concern is that younger people (and more specifically younger people from North America, the dominant demographic here and on reddit) never even had a third-place to begin with, so they wouldn't know what they are missing.
