Back with newsgroups the general rule was to go from general to specific. You start with a general discussion group and when discussions about video games get annoying you create a games group. If then there are too many Baldur’s Gate discussions you create BG. If they are dominated by Baldur’s Gate 3 you create a Baldur’s Gate 3 group. If everyone is fawning over Withers you create a Withers group which of course will be flooded with discussion about the Withers’ tits mod, which shall get its own group.

Meaning you should create a group when demand is there and not the other way around.

FYI, lemmyfly.org is on sale, the instance doesn't exist anymore

If you want to keep !xplane@lemmy.world active, you can promote it on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca, and probably other flight communities like !aviation@lemmy.zip

on sale

I'd probably use "for sale" in this context. "On sale" colloquially means "available at reduced price", and GoDaddy's price for lemmyfly (4.9k$) seems pretty high for a .org.
