Good luck with this!
Interestingly enough, I always thought that Blahaj had a !trans community as they are a queer instance at their core, but it seems it wasn't the case.

I skimmed through it, seems like a basic explanation of what the Fediverse is, mostly oriented on Mastodon.
The videast himself doesn't think he'll post his videos to the Fediverse as it lacks monetization.
There is a security issue by allowing automatic federation with any federated instance: an attacker could just create a huge number of communities, with a large number of posts, exhausting the resources of small instances.
That's what I guess it the main reason why it works like it does now: the server only gets the content if someone is interested.
Host your own instance and that would be the case
Relying on !all to have your newly created community to reach most of the people could work, but using the Scaled sort as it wouldn't have enough subscribers to push it using Hot or Active.
There is only one !newcommunities@lemmy.world, it has 15k subscribers, seems like a pretty good way to promote it.
This is fixed in version 0.19.3, hopefully your instance will update soon
Looking forward to it. Hopefully people will stay respectful.
People are pushing for it because they see the amount of people here as a finite number that shouldn't be spread too thin.
I'm more on the side advocating to get more people here so that we don't worry about how many communities we have on the same topic
I have higher hopes. Java is three times more developers than Rust (https://www.statista.com/statistics/793628/worldwide-developer-survey-most-used-languages/), and you can see in this thread a number of people saying they could contribute as they know Java and not Rust.
Let's hope for the best.
On a separate topic, I am thinking about creating a more laid-back, relaxed community for Europeans, without news (as they seem to be the central focus of this community). I'm still investigating which server would be the best to host it, lemm.ee seems to be a good candidate.
Great study, thanks for sharing!
Lemmy's code isn't that easy to get into, otherwise there would be much more contributors to it.
The third biggest contributor after the two main devs has 59 commits.
