In another conversation about the server literature.cafe potentially defederating from the Hexbear server, I found this comment chain by @Janvier to be a worthwhile read. He makes the case for smaller servers to defederate from many large servers, and not only Hexbear, as a way for smaller communities to grow organically. It is an interesting and different vision of Lemmy; many smaller ‘islands’ that are only marginally connected, instead of one big platform that is tightly connected between the different servers.

Thanks for the pings and support, both of you.

I wrote the thread in a mature post that was already several days old, primarily as an exercise in organizing my thoughts. I didn't think anyone besides @gabe would see it, so I'm really pleased it has reached a larger audience and brought more attention to the instance.
