Its all lf new zealand. Regional councils may have different rules.

The question is how?

Taking outdoor cats and making them indoor is pretty cruel.

It seems easiest to first require all cats to be regged/microchipped, and a few years in start a "cats born after X date must be kept indoors and not roaming."

Live in NZ. My kitten is, and will always be an indoors cat. When i finally get to a larger house she'll have a lovely catio.

At this point, only on mobile, really tbh. Usability is... It's a time.

I might be a dev, but I'm dev enough to understand it's actually about communication and understanding the problem and not writing code. Writing code is pretty easy by comparison.

I think collections are a good and useful feature on their own merit, I'm not sure if they'll solve the fragmented communities issue.

If my problem is that a single article is being posted to 5 different photography community, and each with 2 comments, well, now I can see them together, but people are still not talking to each other. Social media platforms live and die by users talking to each other IMO.

At what point would that trade of be not worth it?

Right now in my head, it seems that too many communities are being started, and for most interests there is no clear "winning" community.

The large number of upvotes suggest I'm not alone in my thinking.

I could take a look at how to enable this solution, I might even get away with doing it myself, but finding the right solution that makes things actually better is more important right now.

Who would set up, maintain, and police these collections?

Would the end goal be a collection of every c/photography community across the fediverse in one collection? How would you prevent someone from blogspaming their links to every individual community?

As with any technical implementation: The tech side is almost always far easier than trying to come up with a "good" or "right" solution.

Please, propose an aternative.

That's why i changed my wording part way through to "Alias." Allowing someone to say, "this name actually refers to an offer server name."

This means that the shitty UX of searching for cool communities is marginally better.

So, as a new user to Lemmy: i have to go and hunt down all the cool communities, not just within my own instance (akin to reddit) but across the fediverse?

That's some shitty UX. We can do better.

How long do I wait?

I dislike that idea. It brings a lot of messyness if the only mod on one server is asleep, etc.

Im not sure if one god owner of a "federated community" is the right answer. But i do think nods across multiple servers is the right answer? Perhaps giving all individual server community owners equal powers is a good choice?

Edit: Maybe it's something server admins could do? "Hey, c/photography, is now an alias for photography@lemm.ee". Maybe if they decide to unalias it, the local photography becomes a mirror of the remote instance. Then local users could interact as normal, and the remote instance would see incoming users acting as normal remote users?

Honest thoughts: I think fractured communities are what's causing the issue.

You end up with the same post on 5 different instances, each with a fraction of the engagement it would get in one place.

I wonder if some way of federating communities might be a better way, eg, c/photograohy could exist on both lemmy.world and lemm.ee, have submissions and comments from both.

It may be the mug shot effect, maybe its the treason... but i swear, all of them have the worst fucking posture.

Easy: doing so would cost too much money, for not enough profit gain.

Aka, there isn't enough competition between airlines

Is it the ego feeding or keeping Twitter ("X") front of mind? Kind of like 2010 lady gaga constantly one upping herself to stay in the news (meat dress anyone?)

The same shit from governments everywhere.

Fix housing or draw 25 bullshit policies.

Firefox currently enjoys protection from being "relatively niche" in the browser market (aka not Chromium based trash).

But if I had to place a bet on which browser would put effort in to protecting your privacy, including which extensions are installed, my bet would be on Firefox over Chrome.

Oof, 10 series GPUs being left behind.
