Yes, but on which instance? Lemmy.ml is not controversy free and Lemmy.world already hosts like 50% of Lemmy alone. I think the only viable option that everyone could agree on would be another instance, but that would just leave us with 3 communities.

Exactly. Instead why don't let grow MORE NICHE communities with specific kind of memes on smaller instances?

The larger communities are easier to find and have more subscribers, people can post to one of the smaller ones, but very few people will see it.

That happens on active but themed instances like Hexbear, the problem is the drive to replicate a "generalist" instance. The fewer "general" instances the better the niches grow.

An entire meme instance with no users attatched to it with multiple specific meme communities

I created dullsters.net just for just one community, it could be more if there were demand for dull content or another dull community wanted to come over, but I don't have any plans to make it some big thing.

This is the way. We should have servers that are community only and user only, imho.
