Is Reddit going to remain the primary space for this community? (www.reddit.com)

I thought this was an interesting post and discussion on selfhosted. Thoughts?

Some great points, but it's nonsense to say r/selfhosted isnt about selfhosting. I've learned so much there.

This (along with basically all instances with communick news behind them) is a classic example of scaling up prematurely.

When this community is brimming with so much content that users start to "miss" posts about [thing x] because there are so many posts about [thing y], then you make offshoot communities, not before.

@shnizmuffin I agree. I am not complaining, just saying what could be an ideal scenario. Someone on the reddit thread complained about their instance becoming too large too soon and they had to shut down, so was reflecting on that.

They probably used on of these federation "helper" scripts that just siphons up the entire fediverse. That is just a bad idea and results in a bloated database like they were complaining about.
