I feel you regarding making LW too big (when I first joined Lemmy, I didn't really get the relationship between different instances), but I've put in a lot of effort in !hardware@lemmy.world to switch.
Happy to crosspost to any more specialized communities in other instances (there tends to be a lot of news about tech hardware about different topics every day).
This is a textbook example of the sunk-cost fallacy.
Don't worry about "wasted effort". That's in the past. It would be better to look forward and see the potential growth that can be had if we work together.
Happy to help with new initiatives.
I can post/crosspost monitor related to content to a new monitors community not on LW. LW has one, but it's dead (!monitors@lemmy.world).
I only post some of the relevant content to !hardware@lemmy.world, so it won't only be crossposts.
If someone wants to take the lead with on a new non-LW community, I can mod and occasionally post content (there is usually something new every few days).
Hit me up if anything.
If hardware is your thing, there is a whole instance for you at https://hardware.watch/communities. :)
I may consider opening a monitor-focused community at some point in the future.
Cheers!
