That's pretty big. I wasn't a huge fan of everything they were doing, though. From all the communities I saw from Beehaw, they were all generic, cookie cutter ones that seemed to be trying to fill the default subs from Reddit. Gaming, Politics, Space, etc. All simple ones with the same icons and everything. I assume they were all ran by the same group of people, which loses the community feel I appreciate about most other instances.

    Yup, that's correct. Beehaw's 4 admins run every communty on there

    Hot take โ€” maybe it was Beehaw that was getting too big too quickly, then?

    They decided to take on an enormous workload, running so many communities, communities that then became the defacto standard communities for those topics.

    The thing that makes this notable is that those beehaw communities were the largest and therefore defacto defaults.

    Yeah, I do appreciate what they were trying, but making communities with the purpose of being popular default ones and then giving up as soon as the site starts to grow is not great.
