/r/AccidentalRenaissance moderators have all resigned. The subreddit has permanently shut down and moved to Lemmy.
AccidentalRenaissance has no active moderators due to Reddit's unprecedented API changes, and has thus been privated to prevent vandalism.

Yes and no. Yes it's good to have a larger presence as say the "canonical" sub, but on the other hand having them on smaller instances is overall the better play
To what end? The more spread out they are the less engagement they have and the sub flounders. Look at what happened to r/android. Went from being one of the largest communities on lemmy.world to puttering along on their new instance, losing a good chunk of users back to Reddit where everything is simple and in one place.
Betamax was the better play versus VHS, but we all know how that ended.
In social gatherings people will want to gather in the same place, and then maybe break off into smaller groups for more precise social interactions. That's kind of the standard normal human thing.
The problem with Federation is it doesn't honor that. It has everyone create small specific social gatherings on their own, and then having someone from each small gallery run between the different social gathering groups to share what each other is saying
I get on paper how Federation is the best way to go, and I do agree with that. The problem is the human population kind of want all people to all gather in one place, and not try to figure out where they have to gather at.
This "smaller instance" has 6000 users and predates lemmy.world by 6 months.
