This is not necessary. As long as the instances are federated, a football community on any instance can communicate with users from other instances and thrive. Also assuming that the subscribers here are from a diverse group of major instances, by searching and joining any new community that props up(if at all that action is needed) we will add the community to the search list
I was keeping an eye with the formula 1 communities the past few weeks. One on lemmy.ml and another on lemmy.world. lemmy.ml was clearly bigger and more active. The end of June came and suddenly everyone started joining lemmy.world as it was open to new registrations and, because they didn't quite understand how the instances work together, lemmy.world/c/formula1 suddenly grew significantly and became the bigger community.
Being on lemmy.world is an advantage just now as new users recognise it when looking for communities.
This to me seems like an issue of educating the people better. Having everything on lemmy.world seems detrimental in the long run, especially for lemmy.world
That's true to some extent, but one community at one instance is always going to end up being the most prominent one in the end regardless, and at least Ruud has experience running large Fediverse instances.
