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.

You mean, if both a and b communities agreed ie both have these feature enabled they can share a topic/s among them?

If both lemmy.ml/c/linux and lemmygrad.ml/c/linux agreed, you could go to /t/linux on either site and see all the content of both in one place.

Got it, very good idea.

Oh, this is how I assumed it worked today

Yeah, you can visit lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] just fine from here on lemmy.ml, but it's a fully separate community to lemmy.ml/c/startrek and you can't view them at the same time on one page.
