Lemmy instances are not really dependable enough for that. Setting up your own instance would be better, but there's still a discoverability problem because instances don't automatically add you to their feeds.

we need

  • links from fediverse instances to other fediverse instances
  • maybe tools like https://fediversemap.com/ to find fediverse instances that are physically close to you, to connect to people irl and organize irl events
  • prefer to post content on already existing instances so you get better exposure
