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.
but this wouldn’t be the place for that.

For the trains, !bricktrains@lemmy.world seems quite active, and I’m sure @Krafting@lemmy.world 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.
