Our little instance is closing to 6 months of operations and it occurs to me I never really asked for some open feedback from our peeps. So I wanted to start a discussion to see your concerns and comments in general. So tell me, in the context of the divisions by zero, what bothers you, what pleases you, what would you like to see improved.
Feel free to share your thoughts about anything.
Honestly I don't have much to complain about, you're running the instance pretty well. I think my only complaint (and this is more of a nitpick really) is since the scope of dbzero is mostly reserved for piracy, anarchism and AI related discussion it doesn't really have that many interesting communities in it. I say this because basically almost every single community I'm subscribed to comes from other instances, and given that dbzero is quite large (for Lemmy standards) I believe that if the scope wasn't so narrow it could have a much more diverse and flourishing set of communities.
Otherwise, you're doing great.
To be fair those topics are not mandatory. Anyone can open a community about anything except the forbidden subjects in the sidebar
