This is an announcement of not just a single instance, but of a whole family of instances that are each focused on a different topic/interest.

  • https://soccer.forum (Football for those not on North America)
  • https://nba.space (Basketball)
  • https://nfl.community (American Football)
  • https://matchpoint.zone (Tennis)
  • metacritics.zone (pop-culture, movies, tv shows, games)
  • blockchained.world (web3)
  • selfhosted.forum (for those who are run their own services: homelab, technology for devops, etc)
  • style.land (brands, fashion, consumer items)
  • hi-fi.community (audio)
  • viewfinder.pro (photography)
  • hardware.watch (Tech news, product reviews, PC modders...)
  • gearhead.town (Car/Motor Enthusiasts)
  • netheads.online (VoIP)

These lemmy instances are meant to be only destination hubs. They are not open for registration, but I am planning to let people decide what communities should be opened on those instances. I've created those because it seems that a lot of people are signing up to an instance and then fail at discovering the content.

The idea is that if we have instances that explicitly about a focused group, it will be easier for new comers to start out. It would also mean that the instances themselves are less likely to get invovled in moderation/federations issues: spammers or bad actors of any type will be reported as soon as possible and hopefully admins from the instances will focus on the instance that is originating the spam instead of the community that was a target of the attacker.

Any ideas of communities for these new instances are more than welcome, and if would like to help with moderation I'd would be eternally grateful.

This just seems like extra steps are added to the already established servers. Perhaps I’m wrong, but I don’t think a server for exclusively tennis will attract many communities

Put this together with my previous post about the fediverser portal, it will be easier to understand the motivation.
