Yea. A little general interest thatβs mostly local to your instance can always be good. And then a specific focus on top.
Should newer features like multi communities and sorts that surface smaller communities come out, smaller general purpose communities might quite cool.
Interesting π€ Maybe lemmy.zip's behaviour is suitable for us too. Their description is "A Lemmy community for everyone, with a focus towards tech, PCs, and gaming".
I think most tech people would block everything with .zip. it is blocked on my network at least. Sounds weird to have a tech instance with that TLD.
IDK I find it funny π
Here is some more info on why its a bad TLD:

Sorry for it being a medium article.
I'm a web dev for almost 6 years, didn't know we can authenticate through URL π€¦ It really looks scary.
Its whats also referred to as basic auth. These days its mostly in a header, but it used to be in the url like the example.
Yeah just tried that and worked! I like it thanks
Congratulations!
Thanks π
