I might be missreading this, but the way I’m using Lemmy is subscribed and ordered by new, making mega threads like this might mean I don’t see news about big developments. One of the reasons I used to use Reddit was to keep up-to-date with the news.
I’m happy if this is just to group speculation and conversation.
But each actually news worthy event should get its own thread.
What are you talking about? There are megathreads on reddit. Peole will still make posts about new events in the world news community. So it should work the same way you are used to.
If you are doing ordered by new, yes definitely it would not work. But these kind of megathreads work best when people order by active, which is the case when there is a very high post rate. Lemmy is not totally there yet but will probably be there very soon at the current growth rate.
I’ve found ordering by new comments is a good balance. It means generally newer stuff gets put at the top of my feed, but posts with a lot of recurring talk do as well.

Definitely agree
