a simple flaw in this design is that users on lemmy.world and users on beehaw.org are not federated, so how do we resolve that issue for a community that is on .ml, .world, beehaw, and nsfw, beehaw would have to support content from world, who they are currently defederated with, or their users would just not see content from world users. the whole premise of defederation is ironically antithetical to the premise of federation. by making a larger group of distributed users, the system could work great. but the admins are taking their personal issues to each other causing fractures that make adoption for newer users and more laymen basically impossible. that whole "it doesn't matter what instance you use" is complete BS at this point since half of the top 5 instances are defederated frome at least 1 other.

why is being like reddit a bad thing? it's the best link aggregator on the internet. until new released the site was great. imagine not wanting a link aggregator like reddit before they made their own app and doomed the UX to modernized oblivion.

everyone in both those comment sections are talking about how bad of a choice this is LOL.

Who said anything about language barriers?

you did.

It is perfectly okay to have completely different discussions around the same link

thats not whats happening. you're either getting the same comments in all places or you're arbitrarily preventing people from commenting all in 1 place to prop up this guise of "freedom" that exists at the will of the instance admins.

Were not talking about language barriers, were talking about people building arbitrary walls where none are needed. There is 0 reson that there are over a dozen "technology" communities. If there was simply 1 community to focus on these topics the whole place would function much more smoothly. The core problems with Lemmy is that all of the communities are fragmented and spread out, by force of the admins too. This means small communities will never get populated unless a massive monolithic instance comes about to dwarf the rest. Right now, the largest video game communities on the internet don't get even a post a day. The only things that get traction here are politics, tech, and memes, because they are the most universal topics that can be minimally sustained on any online platform. Until the users and admins of Lemmy realize they need to agnosticize content, communities, and users from instances, this place will crumble under its fundamental framework. We need to be like email, and let the users build their spaces, not the few who decide to host the servers.

its not a UI issue when there are comments from 10 different communities.

tell that to everyone else. shit like this will make all even more useless than it already is.

and that isn't how any platform works. this deliberate fragmentation will continue to kill lemmy's potential and means any small coms will never get populated.

unless communities and users become agnostic to instances, this problem will never be solvable. also defederation makes this virtually impossible.

wtf do the bots have to do with this? the issue is that multiple communities are all talking about the same article in many different places when they should be all talking about it in 1.

it appears that the update might have fixed the issue. i haven't spent a lot of time with it atm though.

I have his problem where images will instantly close when I tap or push them to the top of the screen. I assume some of this functionality is intentional but it means if you zoom into an image it sometimes just closes or it closes when you try and pan around.

and this site has that exact mechanic in the API.

im not going to entertain an unverifiable story from a random person on the internet.

you can only lose 15 points for a comment and 0 for a post. the only thing they do is they jitter the total points to fight botting. its designed to make karma a representation of content given, not necessarily that you have a high hit rate.

I wouldn't expect it to make sense when you don't understand how the system works in the first place.

I'm not going to argue with someone about the story they tell me and how it made them feel because an individual's biased perspective is not an objective observation of how the vote system works. This isn't about you.

this isn't about what you agree with, your only counter to a situation where bad content can reach more people because no one can push it down is that it would never get upvoted in the first place, witch isn't the issue with not having downvotes.
