On Lemmy is it usually safe to create ones own community to post their own stuff on a smaller scale when there are other communities already available of the same topic? Or should we just go to the larger communities. To reduce spam. I feel like one side to this is obvious and the the other side is, to create communities to increase competition.
It’s certainly not dangerous, but, every community could use more traffic around here, so it doesn’t make any sense to spread it out any thinner.
Eh, I’ll subscribe to all of them just the same.
Alternative view: decentralization is good! Allow people to create their own communities, even redundant ones, and moderate then differently. I’m subscribed to several “cats” communities and posts all go to my feed regardless of which community they come from
