Lemmy needs better integration/federation. Too much content is hidden. A community on the biggest instance was not visible to me on another large instance.

  • I'm not even subscribed to that, and even if I was, and it was a default subscription for every new lemmy.world user, I don't think it's a good replacement for a functional search or an all that includes all posts from federated instances. I see lots of posts on all-hot with 0-5 upvotes so it seems fine if it actually showed all communities on federated instances (which it doesn't).

  • Perfect, thank you!

  • Yeah, the whole point of lemmy is to not be like that... so it definitely needs improvement.

  • This works quite well usually.

    I definitely don't agree. I think this is very problematic. I rely on all to find new communities. I don't think one newcommunities sub is a valid replacement. It would suffer from the same issue -- people would have to spam their post to every single instances's newcommunities sub, which is ridiculous and not even viable.

  • The number of subscribers being completely different depending on which instance you search from is really weird/bad too IMO.

  • be prepared for most of the people to just stick to those two, as they are well established and have large userbases

    Also, isn't that against the whole notion of Lemmy? To spread things out and avoid concentration?

  • Yeah I didn't want to go digging that far back. I wouldn't say they're large. They have a few hundred subscribers while the /r/watchredditdie, etc. subs had more than a hundred thousand and were larger alone than the whole of lemmy.

  • Isn’t it heavily downvoted?

    Nope. The anti-reddit stuff was downvoted and pro-reddit stuff upvoted. I dug back into my profile to find the most recent time it happened to me https://sh.itjust.works/comment/7640949.

    Overall I don't find lemmy very anti-reddit at all. There were a bunch of anti-reddit subreddits of pretty large size that reddit basically shut down. All of them were way more anti-reddit than lemmy is. /r/watchredditdie and /r/declineintocensorship for example. I'm hoping to pull some of those people to lemmy by giving them a new home.

  • There are voices, and actions that reddit has silenced that should be given back a voice again. Reddit has been doing very bad things and sweeping them under the rug. This will give people a chance to find out about what reddit is trying to hide from the public.

    /r/watchredditdie for example, was a big sub that reddit basically shut down. I'm hoping to draw some of those people to lemmy as their new home. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24701475.2021.1997179

  • It did on reddit (r/watchredditdie) and the admins shut it down. Snoopocalyse existed on lemmy, but went into archive mode.

  • rather than desperately trying to recreate the shit hole that is reddit

    I don't want that either. See my other comments.

  • It doesn't appear that reddit is preventing subreddits from creating ans advertising lemmy alternatives. They don't have to close down.

  • In large part, I agree. But there are subs/content on reddit that isn't available anywhere else. I'd like to stop having to go to reddit for anything. The more communities that set up shop on lemmy, the more search engines will provide people with alternative results to reddit, and the less we'll have to go to reddit for niche content.

  • Yeah, I blocked all the meme subs on lemmy. I'm not interested in inviting those. I plan to invite some niche subs that I've followed/known about for years that haven't moved over yet.

  • It’s better to have this happen organically

    Of course, but organic moves seem to be done at this point.
