I have a suspicion that the right way to develop a project for fedi is to start small, build it in relative obscurity - with a single community server to act as a demo.
Then, if the demo reaches some level of criticality, the appropriate actions are either:
A) Turn it off. Gently, of course.
B) Lock it so that no new signups are allowed.
C) Spin it off as a separate entity, likely a co-operative.
This will encourage the project to grow, and will separate development from community management.
