How do we expand (lemmy.ml)

Most of the communities are on one instance i.e .ml. Should we spin up more instances and start spreading communities either by location, interests, etc? Maybe, I am wrong but do mod/s who run the communities understand the idea of "decentralized social networks" or this is just to get few brownie points to start the community and increase the traffic? Please correct me if I am wrong.

No offence, just an observation.

I feel like the best way to get this off the ground is to really put up as much new content as possible. I've been slacking recently by not being on in a while, but I really need to make the effort in contributing.

With more contribution comes more people.

I think this is on point. IIRC this was a major problem with reddit in the early days, admins had to post a lot of content.

that's generally how you get a community rolling. yogthos feels like he's been almost the sole contributor for a while.

You are correct, if we keep the bots away.
