There is already a couple like this. lemmy.dbzer0.com for example is a piracy themed instance, and all communities hosted on it are piracy-related.

Yaargh, matey, I be not aware of that plunderin' spot at all, arr! Thank ye kindly for sharin'. Ahoy, raise the masts and set sail on the high seas!
I think more regional / city instances would be great. Seems like a natural way to consolidate activity around local content, meetups, activism, etc etc while also staying totally connected to everything else
That's actually a great idea
Only if we get the ability to block instances as users.
There are quite a lot of posts on my Hot page in languages I don't speak. It'd be nice to be able to block instances that mostly communicate in languages I don't speak anyways.
You can select which languages you want to see in your Lemmy settings. Of course, this currently require people to tag their post with the correct language.
Which is not happening right now. I ha r three languages selected, I still get tons of other languages in my feed.
I saw the scramble exodus from twitter to fedi, specifcally mastodon, when elon took over, give it time, when it first happened the Main instance Mastodon.social was swarmed aswell as the instances listed in mastodons Website at the time, over time more instances popped up with themes, im aware of lemmy-php which uses phpbb What doomed lemmy migration is how short the Protest is, over the 3 month Period with twitter fediverse microblogging adapted, just as reddit Corp will ride the wave so will lemmy with minor change, what needs to happen is the suggested "indefinite Protest" it will make lemmy instances pop up with themes, and smaller instances contributing to federation Themed instances already include lemmygrad.ml
You really need to use better grammar and punctuation, my dude⦠That was a rough read.
Sorry for no reply but I do not really know english grammar
Currently users of Lemmy are "power users". The fact that power users can't even work out how to use Lemmy 'properly' is sign of its future

I don't really think we need a rule to it. And honestly, what about when themes overlap? Do we get dividing communities just because?
Also, it would just promote an echo chamber like Twitter.
Communities does what you want already. In time, some will pop off and become the popular ones. Maybe some will be split because of users not agreeing with something, but that already happened on Reddit as well.
I feel like is not necessary because you can subscribe and communicate to subLems from basically anywhere. We're right now 2 users from 2 different instances talking at a subLem originate at a 3rd instance, but does it even matter? As long as everything's federated it (basically) doesn't matter where you're account is from, and what subLems are originate from your instance. That's the whole beauty of the fediverse.
PS, I do glad that lemmygard implemented your idea, so because my instance defederate them I don't have to see those guys ever again (they're the reason I ditched my lemmy.ml account long ago).
