Fediverse enshittification (self.fediverse)

Do you think Lemmy and other parts of the fediverse will eventually enshittify? I think this would be an interesting discussion to have. There currently is not financial incentive like the ones that have led centralized platforms to enshittify. But there might be in the future. Does decentralization protect against that tendency in some way?

Lemmy and Mastodon do give me the hope, that when one platform turns to shit, there will be people creating a platform that - for the time being - is not.

There is no community for that here

If you open a advance wars or super Famicom wars thread on [email protected] and [email protected] I'm pretty sure you'll get a lot of answers.

Everytime I post on [email protected] I get dozens of answers

Also

There's more than Linux

That is such a disorganized way to do things. Retrogaming is about retro gaming as a whole, not individual games. I'm sure there may be a few people who enjoy it, but a dedicated community would be where you should be wanting to post.

Besides, I didn't have questions. I just started playing Super Famicom Wars, and wanted to talk about it. See if others have played the fan translation I am. I get super excited about topics, and I want to share.....but this wouldn't be the place for that.

And this happens usually once or twice a day. I want to post about (topic) but (topic) doesn't have a community people would search to find that kind of content.

Last week it was G-Scale trains. I see a general model train community, but it's mostly dead. And certainly they wouldn't want to discuss G-Scale.

Last week I had to post in retrogaming, because the retropie community hasn't had a post in 8 months.

The fediverse needs people, and content to grow. I feel like it's even slightly shrinking.

but this wouldn’t be the place for that.

Why not? I wanted to post about city builders the other day, I got 52 answers: https://lemmy.world/post/15279489

Someone else posted about Chrono Cross and got 19 answers: https://lemmy.world/post/20244935?scrollToComments=true

For the trains, [email protected] seems quite active, and I'm sure @[email protected] could consider enlarging the scope to other model trains

Last week I had to post in retrogaming, because the retropie community hasn’t had a post in 8 months.

Is that a bad thing? With 50k monthly active users, there is a limit on how niche your communities can be, it makes sense to got to more general communities sometimes. On the other side, your posts are more likely to be seen.
