Thanks! I'll probably do a small post about it later this week (Sunday tends to bit a bit slower on Lemmy)

Thank you for your comment!

There are many communities that are similar on different instances, firefox for example.

Sometimes they are identical and should merge, sometimes due to the specific audience of the instance, it's better to keep them separate.

I wouldn't suggest merging !movies@lemmy.world and !movies@hexbear.net

Would be nice if lemmy supports something like multi Reddit with the option of hiding duplicate posts.

Mbin does support multireddits, but this doesn't seem to be interesting enough for people to switch to it (while Lemmy communities are fully accessible from Mbin)

Both could work, in a different way.

Nextcloud is more like a shared agenda, where you need to explicity invite people to events.

Mobilizon is more like Facebook events, where anyone with the link can say they will attend.

You might even have both, a Nextcloud for the members of the org and a Mobilizon as the public events

The few top comments are quite neutral, then it gets into the "CANCEL. YOUR. SUBSCRIPTION." territory.

So I guess now Lemmy is on par with Reddit? Anyway

It's kind of interesting, it's not even mine, just something I took from elsewhere.

Was it necessary to be this agressive?

Anyway, have a good one.

OP isn't a bot, I've seen some of their posts in the last few days. They are just happy to have joined the Fediverse

A post a day in a community is a bot, more often than not, and trying to create discussion on bot posts often just falls on deaf ears.

In this case, I'm pretty sure it's not, it's a mix between @The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world, @garfaagel@sh.itjust.works, myself and a few others.

We had a nice discussion a few weeks ago about metal bands (https://dormi.zone/post/1721444)

organically support active communities wherever they’re found.

Makes sense

so you don’t see so many duplicate posts in your feed and all those individual discussions are instead in one place.

I guess at some points moderators of communities around a same topic will have to agree on where to host the community. The split between !android@lemmy.world and !android@lemdro.id still doesn't make sense to me today.

Hello,

Thank you for your comment.

I agree with the fact that a story of post should only exist once, as you said. I guess the remaining question is what to do where there are two communities for the same topic.

I have a good example that I just stumbled upon: !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz is the most active community about maps, has usually one post per day every day for the last few months. Once in a while, someone posts on !mapporn@lemmy.world, and they instantly get a lot more comments than the first community.

!games@sh.itjust.works is also quite active, despite not being on LW.

Should we just give up with federation, and just aggregate all communities on LW?

Great news!

Good luck!

Looks cool, thanks for sharing!
