I love that PoE has its own instance (lemmy.world)

Unironically, I feel like this is the way to go with the fediverse. It takes the best parts of the old internet's forums and the best part of the new internet. I hope more communities go this way instead of just being created on lemmy.ml or lemmy.world.

Why is this the way to go? Completely honest question, trying to wrap my head around this still

You can imagine the poe-discussion instance as a fediverse equivalent of the PoE forums. Each community can be imagined as the equivalent of a sub forum - general, builds, class-specific forums, etc.

This way, you have the entire PoE community under one roof/moderation team, with all the information easy to find and index. At the same time, due to it being federated, people can still browse and participate from their home instance or choice.

It's independent of bullshit that can happen in other instances, while still accessible for everyone who uses Lemmy.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense, but it also relies on one (much smaller) instance to keep existing for us to not lose everything again? Which I suppose is not free

Double-edged sword, you're right. You're just changing who you rely on. But I'd rather rely on the people passionate enough to run a PoE forum/instance vs a corporation like Reddit

It also relies on the infrastructure and federation system to work well. I'm hopefully that it will, but there is still a huge amount of work required to improve user experience and moderation tools.
