i want to contribute to .ml and minimize how much of my effort goes to .world or .shitjustworks; i think my IT experience would be more beneficial to this end.
no reddit diaspora sites has ever survived and no instance on the lemmyverse has the critical mass of users necessary to recreate reddit’s subreddit communities.
the people looking for a reddit alternative will leave and .world will become like any other instance after .worlders start to miss the niche content enough.
lemmy.ml runs on the vanilla Lemmy codebase, so from a software development standpoint, you mostly can’t pick & choose which instances you’re helping. You can work on whichever features/GitHub tickets you’d like to see on lemmy.ml (though keep in mind that a few features are optional/configurable, and the lemmy.ml admins and/or user base might not want some enabled. It’s a good idea to read the room before investing the effort).
Contribute code on github!

Best way to decentralize users more would probably be to make your own instance. .world is certainly centralizing Lemmy’s userbase too much right now.
