/r/buyfromEU "Europe keeps building social apps no one wants", "No "pick your fediverse server,” no confusion. It’s one big centralized thing, and that’s part of why posts can go viral" (old.reddit.com)

Also blaze’s argument “just post it on the largest server everybody is there anyways” is in my opinion exactly against what lemmy stands for and makes everybody depended on that 1 community/host/whatever we wanna call it.

I said the most active community, not the largest server, otherwise I would just post to all the Lemmy.world communities, which is the opposite of what I stand for

What happens however is that you need a certain number of people to keep a community active. I was trying to keep [email protected] alive for a bit, but the most active community is by far [email protected].

makes everybody depended on that 1 community/host/whatever we wanna call it.

As it currently stands, for a conversation to happens in the comments, it needs to be on one post, on the same community. I know Piefed kind of proposes a workaround with the merged comments section, but still, if you see an interesting comment and reply to it, you are going to reply to it in the community the comment is hosted on, contributing to "consolidation", as that community is now more active by one comment that the others.

That's just inherent to the Reddit-like format.
