I love the growth and population, but I really want to help foster the decentralization of this platform, since that’s (to me) the best part of the fediverse.

    I’m with /u/derek@lemmy.one and /u/svengarlic@lemmy.world here.

    Spinning up an instance for yourself and maybe a few friends? Yeah, that’s no sweat.

    Be ready to be a full-fledged admin if you open it up to everyone. If you’re cool with that, awesome. To increase the chances that it’ll be interesting to people, you should give it a description & name to attract the kinds of people you’re more likely to vibe with. Just took a quick look at your post history and saw scifi and creative posts, maybe lean into that. Or whatever you’re into.

    Popheads is a great example of a “themed” instance. We need more of those and less “Leddit 2.0” instances, imho.
