    I’m not thrilled about the concentration on lemmy.world, and it’s no coincidence that most of my posts are to my home instance and a growing community on lemmy.zip.

    I’ll admit to trying to have it both ways, though. I still post on !games@lemmy.world because it could be a draw for new users, and I’d rather have a robust population on a concentrated Lemmy than zero growth (and I’m not the type to discuss world news/politics in this setting).
