Thank you @popcar2@programming.dev
Oh hey, it's been a while since I've written this. Thanks for sharing it again. When I posted it last year to the fediverse community, people were not ready for it.
Excellent write-up of the problem and its potential solutions!
Do you know if Proposal 3 has made it to the Lemmy devs? If so, what was their response to it?
I haven't checked since making this post but when the idea was floating around the devs said they preferred multi-communities (proposal 2). That's still on the Lemmy roadmap but isn't here yet.
That said, Piefed apparently implemented something similar to proposal 3 so maybe the devs can change their mind and copy them instead.
Have they? Blaze linked to a thread on the implementation of Piefed "feeds", which is a form of Proposal 2 (multi-communities). Have they also implemented Proposal 3 (communities following each other) as well?
I really hope the devs consider Proposal 3, as it seems like the solution which best fixes fragmentation.
I guess the confusion comes from the fact that Piefed feeds can be followed by other people, so it's a bit more than "just" proposal 2. But yes, it's not full proposal 3 either.
