Perhaps setting up your own instance for a single community is the wrong approach. You're basically hosting an entire Reddit for a single subreddit. It probably hurts discoverability a bit.
There are already 3D printing communities on Lemmy.

- llampx 3y agoThe crux of the problem right here. Modding is ultimately a power trip, and no mod wants to give up their power. A "head mod" of a popular subreddit wouldn't just join a random lemmy where they can't assert their power.
- Forgeties79 3y agoI’m a mod for a 1.5mill sub community and I’d gladly drop it! The only thing I care about is the community being able to move somewhere where we can continue to have interesting discussions about the thing our sub is dedicated to. I could not care less about continuing to be a mod. I only do it at this point because the community is awesome and I still learn a ton there.

- traverseda 3y agoLemmy.ml wasn't accepting new users at the time. This server has 200GB of ram, plenty of space. I do also try to connect people to lemmy in general but it's challenging when the "main instance" isn't accepting new users.
