100%, lemmy is so freaking frustrating in the way it is now. Whatever you’re comfortable with is what’s best! It was a pain in the ass to set up this instance. Thankfully it’s gotten easier with the past few updates. I am very hopeful for lemmys growth and making more niche focused communities is extremely important to it’s growth in my opinion.
Know that if things do grow more and you change your mind and decide to open things up, know that I’d support you 100%. Obviously, you don’t need my blessing or support but spreading things out and embracing decentralization across the fediverse is something I will always be down with. I know there’s probably going to be more pause in the future in regards to making alternatives to existing niche communities on lemmy but it’s always good to have choice and just have things spread out. There is no competition here, we’re all federated together.

Thanks for the support, gabe. That’s a very healthy approach to the Fediverse.
