Can this be instantly achieved? Or is it inevitable that this process of reaggregation into single community will continue for a long time (months or even years)? Let’s discuss!

I personally am not a mod of any subreddit. I just had this question arise in my brain.

      You have to pay to host an instance, but you don’t need to host an entire instance just to create a community. On your home instance (the one you signed up for) just create a new community there. Other instances will eventually be able to communicate with it

      Huh, it wasn’t coming up in a search for me. I had to try searching for it like three times and the first time I clicked your link I got a server error. Well, I guess the Lemmy servers are a bit screwy right now. Thanks for the link!

      I assume that creating a whole server/instance takes some kind of resources and cost, but I think just opening a community is free? I haven’t tried it yet though.
