I think it will more of less follow that path naturally in the years to come, if it ever catches on. You can already see this happening with some instances (ie lemmy.ca mostly devoted to canadian topics, etc)
You have to remember that the amount of lemmy servers exploded in the past week or so. We're pretty much figuring this out collectively
waveform.social is handling a lot of music-making topics. I think this is better than simply being region based. I understand the need for communities of different languages but I donβt really understand the need for ones specific to different english-speaking regions. Instances based on similar interests makes the most sense to me.
It may make a difference in speed if you are closer to the actual server (IE, it's in your country)
