However, there are important downsides to the “cause-first” approach, such as a possible lock-in of main causes
I’m surprised by this point—surely a core element of the ‘cause-first’ approach is cause prioritization & cause neutrality? How would that lead to a lock-in?
But it’ll be intensified if the community mainly exists of people that like the same causes because the filter for membership is cause-centered rather than member-centered.

That might be true in theory, but not in practice. People become biased towards the causes they like or understand better.
Sure, but that’s not a difference between the two approaches.
