Should we post on our local instances' communities to avoid making the Fediverse centralized? (kbin.social)

I realized that there are alot of inactive communities across the Lemmy and kbin instances. The beauty of decentralization is that we don't rely on a central instance, if a fediverse instance becomes the central one that hosts the majority of posts, then if that instance goes down, we lose alot. I also suggest posting to small communities on other instances.

That is usually a good idea. Find a community instance that is more up your alley, see if it has parallel communities and post on there alone, or on there as well.
