I know they roughly explained why, but it seems pretty insane they jumped the gun without having any of the users input and want people to go to another instance just for that community

    Part of the beauty of Lemmy is fracturing intentionally into smaller instances. The content is no less accessable to people who want it, and it’ll hopefully provide a better, more reliable experience by being off lemmy.world on a smaller instance.

    I believe many are trying to help reduce the load in lemmy.world, where most new users (including myself) started.

      I don’t really care either way, but this brings up questions of potential “cybersquatting”. The fediverse is supposed to allow for multiple communities in multiple instances. Let’s say i want to create a community about… basketweaving. Is it ok to create a /c/basketweaving community on all the top 20 instances, and then lock and redirect 19 of them to /c/basketweaving@lemmy.world?
