I would love for instances focused on their own topics. mandra.xyz is all about science and exploration. The only reason we dont have a gaming focused instance is that we simply havent done it

The lemmy ui could add a way to group communities at the user level. Something like multi reddits.
Oh man, it's going to be so much fun to have to group similar communities when there are hundreds of instances! ๐

My proposed solution to this issue is a way to group subscribed channels. Like if I sub to x number of Games communities I wish I could drop them all in a folder labeled Games so I could browse all of those posts in one spot.
UI would be like Communities -> Subscribed (All) -> "Individual" folder hierarchy containing w/e you want.

Having just come from Reddit myself, I'm finding this really hard to wrap my head around. I initially jumped over and made a Kbin account and started looking around for ~~subreddits~~ "Magazines" to subscribe to. I found a few, then was surprised that I didn't see "Movie Suggestions", so I went ahead and created one thinking 'Okay, now it's around, I'll hold onto it for awhile and surely someone who used to moderate the old /r/moviesuggestions subreddit shows up, I can hand it off to someone as I have 0 knowledge or interest in doing any of that BS.
Eventually, I made a Lemmy account (here, I guess? I still have no idea what the fuck an "instance" is, or whatver this is...), and found that there already exists a Movie Suggestions ~~subreddit~~ "Community". So... are there like, 9000 Movie Suggestions ~~subreddits~~ whatevers for every instance/server of Lemmy and/or Kbin?
How in the fuck is that supposed to work, if everyone just creates their own thing?
I guess rather than just silently creating a community and waiting for anyone to come, you'd have to make a post putting a light on your community. Although if you don't have the moderators to run a community, that might be jumping the gun to early.
There's at least a community for highlighting/requesting new communities here on /c/[email protected]
(Okay I'm having some trouble figuring out how to link a community on jerboa)
