Calling it "official" is kind of weird. Anyone can start a futurology community here in the Fediverse, and it's entirely up to the users which one they want to use.
It's not "the official futurology instance", it's "the official r/futurology instance":
This is a sibling community to r/futurology on Reddit, set up and moderated by the same people.
We beta tested it for a while & went live today.

It will be interesting to see how it does. r/futurology has 19 million subscribers, but I don't know what that means for the lemmy site.
