Besides the technical stuff, I think that postponing launching new communities would actually hinder the Codidact project altogether.

The thing is that this network of sites is built to curate knowledge. Knowledge can only be curated when there are people to curate it. So in order to curate more knowledge you need more people. If now the case would be "Sorry, no new communities for now", I'm pretty sure that otherwise motivated users turn away for good or at least grow sour. I mean, why have some communities been created beforehand and this specific one where I want to participate now isn't created?

Another half-technical reason is that developing features without any input of those who are supposed to use it is never a good idea to begin with. I'm sure every developer can come up with great ideas and concepts to improve a product but the main question is: Does the person who handles the product afterwards feel the same way? Or may it be that this one additional feature actually breaks the flow?

Right now, we are on a good middle ground in my opinion. Users can request features, the development team implements them if they have the time and means to do so. It's clear that no feature ever was developed completely error-free to begin with, errors are just part of the process. Nothing I encountered so far was game breaking, some things do feel clunky or weird but hey, the journey is the reward.

Summarising it, my opinion is quite the contrary: create more communities (if they are viable) because creating one is always harder than deleting one - the ones which don't make the "cut" can still be removed, no harm done.
