We haven't finished building it.
Microcosms will allow for privacy... select members only. And items within that would inherit those permissions.
If you set up a Microcosm for cycle trainers in Birmingham and only invite them, then only they could discuss things, access it, and so forth.
There is no limit on the number of Microcosms you can have, though practically I think an average usable number will just emerge from observing how sites use them.
For Microcosms themselves, these will be subscribeable, and searchable (no-one has commented on the lack of search yet). You'll be able to see which ones you have subscribed to or participated in, and find other ones that you have permission to see.
Just as lists of items have never become unwieldy, I believe that a list of Microcosms won't be either. The same mechanisms to find threads and topics, and keep track of them will apply to Microcosms.
