As long as people understand the circumstances of that instance I have absolutely no problem with people finding the place they belong.
I just hope there are not new users who don’t realize they may not be federated with the larger community.
Without a doubt I miss the more normal IAMA’s also.
One of the most successful IAMA’s of all time was the vacuum repair guy and he absolutely was fascinating.
Voat was a replica of Reddit in design. One centralized server. We would have ended up in the same crappy place even if that were a success because at some point they would have wanted to monetize it also.
You have to do some reading and learn about the technology behind Lemmy and federation to understand.

Use the LCS app to add communities automatically to your instance. I was quite disappointed to see that I had to manually add every community and wouldn’t be able to have the classic ALL page I was used to but this solved that. It runs on a schedule and automatically adds communities based on your criteria.
Man how many people even know what this is lol
