That fragmentation annoyed me too at the beginning, until somenoe tokd me something along the lines.
"It's like different reddit subs with each hsving their own mods and rules"...
So /c/gaming on instance A, and /c/gaming on instance B, would be like /r/gaming and /r/gamingfornoobs.
That is what I already do. But I feel like there isn't much going on. Tbh, I'm more of a passive than active participant. Never been a "karma whore".
I mostly scroll through the feed and chime into topics where I feel I can contribute to.
But wouldn't advertising one instance backfire and lead to huge server loads on that instance?
Reddit took the time to get these communities going...
Sure! But, in this case Lemmy is literally a federated copypasta of Reddit, like Madtodon is of X.
Therefore, I think Lemmy is already a few steps ahead, due to the existing familiarity how communities/subs are supposed to be used.
So it's not we're starting from scratch... It's just getting rid of the annoyances of Reddit.
Take Mastodon/BlueSky as an example. People are already familiar withbthe concept of how to use it.
Lol... It is indeed common knowledge... I was just joking.
Using Teams as a freelancer with multiple clients who roll their own user management is a PITA.
I had to sign into multiple browsers in private mode
Thank you! Finally someone has the guts to say this publicly
In all seriousness... I'd really like to know what has gone wrong in people's lifes to think and speak like that, without feeling the slightest bit of shame.
and Germany.... don't forget the Germans, man, they do their best to stay relevant in this genocidal massacre.
cuz "defenfing", by todays standards, means killing innocent civilians (mostly children), and is therefore already reserved for Israel.
I doubt it ever scraped SO, otherwise all the answers would be smth along the lines: "I cannot answer this question due to low quality effort!" closes browser window
This is exactly how I feel about python as well... IMHO, it's good for some advanced stuff, where bash starts to hit its limits, but I'd never touch it otherwise
There are already some communities with the same tooic, but without much interaction, so I was mainly refering to joining existing ones.
However, even if that happens, one can simply go ahead and create a new community with normal mod behavior.
