With startrek.website we’d hoped creating a Star Trek themed instance might encourage other ex-moderators to start topic-specific instances too, and it would kick off a flourishing of myriad communities run by devoted moderators, a Lemmyverse so diverse and inspiring that not even Reddit could further justify it’s own existence in the presence of such an obviously superior system.

Yeah I tried a WSB themed instance. Lemmy really isn't set up to support this. Its a pretty critical issue with how its engineered and can't really be fixed in the current structure.
