  • No questions right now. Just wanted to say thank you for your hard work.

    I know y’all catch a lot of shit and get hammered with requests/demands, so I wanted to let you know that your work is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for dedicating your time and energy to making a non-corporate, federated social environment possible.

    Being on Lemmy has been a breath of fresh air.


  • Interesting, is this all manually curated like multireddits? Would also be nice to have automatic ones (with include/exclude overrides)

    The problem with it just being Piefed is that Lemmy clients probably won’t bother to support it unless it becomes standard.

    Is this a frontend specific thing or does it also require the Piefed backend on your instance too? If it is just frontend, I would definitely use it for desktop browsing.

    Dope seeing implementation diversity resulting in experimentation and innovation. Would love to see this adopted in other Lemmy implementations too


  • Many more niche communities languish because they can never get enough traction to be seen.

    If I subscribe to /c/dubstep, chances are I don’t care if it is lemmy.ml/c/dubstep or lemmy.world/c/dubstep, but neither community is likely to be active because one comm on one instance needs to be the popular one for other users to sub and want to post there. What I really want is /f/dubstep


  • It would still be a huge benefit, especially for more niche topics, if we had something like a federation-wide comm like /f/niche_hobby that you could subscribe to instead of 20 different /c/niche_hobby communities.

    Maybe comms could opt in/out of behavior to avoid the issue you described.

    This would also benefit smaller instances because few people will subscribe to their comms because they are too inactive, making it so their content never gets traction.

    My biggest complaint with Lemmy is that it is too hard to group & categorize content. Sometimes I want politics, sometimes I want nerd shit, but my only three options are subscribed, local, and all, which doesn’t have any categorization unless you are on an active, niche server.

    Multireddits are pretty much the only thing I miss from reddit.

    • Supports capitalism over socialism.
    • Supports imperialist projects to dominate the global south and destabilize competitors.
    • Supports more funding to police.
    • Rejects single payer health care.
    • Rejects nationalizing oil and gas industries.
    • Rejects any form of trust busting.
    • Rejects any measures to reign in corruption, lobbying, or corporate influence.

    I could go on all day.

    The only meaningful difference is that Democrats hate gays slightly less and try to avoid using the n word in public.

    I’d ask you for math, but I’m just going to spend an hour debunking Washington Post links claiming dems want things they never bothered to try implementing.

    Winning is authoritarian. Everything makes more sense when you understand that this is where the opposition to “authoritarianism” comes from.

    It’s how you can denounce movements that win, while suggesting the left uses tactics that lose. It is a meaningless word that means successful deviation from the desires of the West.
