That’s no different to Reddit though, and it doesn’t work there. Everyone congregates on the “default” most populated subs/communities. Making a new one pretty much never works. It takes the previous one being closed or completely changed for any alternative to get any traction.
Of course its no different to reddit. Lemmy is supposed to work similar. The big difference here is that it is less homogenous. You can see that there are many different communities for the same topics that are even similar in numbers. The top down capitalist rule isnt the default and not the best or only one that works. Its what we all were socialized in.
