I love how that aspect works here. I'd like to see that really improve over time as people spread out.
It's actually my least favourite aspect. People are going to carve out their own little bubbles everywhere where only people with exactly the same political beliefs hang out, never getting exposed to any counter arguments and constantly oversimplifying offoposing worldviews as they drift further to extremes.
Other social media platforms have this happen a lot, but Lemmy really lets you choose to stick your head in the sand with very little effort.
