Agreed. Why overcomplicate things? I can understand the desire not to pick favourites in a rapidly-evolving space which was clearly the approach of /r/rust mods early on, but enough time has now passed that the project could save everyone some headaches by just picking one Lemmy community that they're confident will be held to the Rust community standards. Nobody's expecting a permanent decision with young software. We can change the way we operate again in a year or two if we have to.

Agreed, why throwing more programming, delays and complexity to it while the main goal is just to first find a new official home, P0 is to pick an instance, move to it and announce it. Then P1 if you want to federate better subcommunities: sure! do it! and the larger lemmy community will benefit from it.
