MODERATORS
This is the Lemmy problem on display. We complain about Reddit, but it's popularity is why we have some expert chiming in everywhere. And we all love the tiny community on Lemmy, but we apparently are missing a cloudologist, or maybe just not one in the right time zone.
That's the network effect in a nutshell.
I think mirroring some reddit communities here might attract some of those subject matter experts. The threadiverse is great, but we're missing a lot of niche communities, so it's not ideal for people with very particular special interests or career fields.
An instance with a bunch of clones of various niche subreddits, each with a repost bot to stock the most relevant content, could go a long way to making this a more viable alternative for those types of people
