No I am saying to me it seems like the vast majority of confusion for new users is giving them this super long detailed explanation of federation, and/or users trying to figure out which instance they should be joining. As a new user all you really have to know is to go on lemmy.world and signup and its just like reddit.

What I said is what I’ve done and have had zero to worry about.

Yeah thats fair on your communities disappearing. Not really a common things thats happening though, and not something youd really notice until you used it for a while.

1. Sign up at lemmy.world.
2. Done

No need to explain all the other crap

I dunno about this. I REALLY like the idea of fragmenting the whole user base. When a community gets too big it ceases to be a community.

Why does the whole internet need to see then same content, and be a collective hivemind?

Whats wrong with the current user size we have on this current community? Id even argue its too big already. If it blows up by 100x we run back to having posts with 10k replies, 20 or so which everyone will read. Its a really dumb system

You’re talking about different issues I think. What OP mentioned is inconsistency with one community being seen across different instances.

Ive been thinking about how to do this but the issue I see related names don’t necessarily mean the same type of community.

/c/latex on one community and /c/latex on another can be VERY different things, so you need to let people create their own groupings, but that seems like too much work.

But going by name is perhaps a good start.

Its unreal

How lovely

I feel you

Normal people do stupid shit that gets them killed all the time

Lemmy UI has a ton of issues

Whats the matter professor? Nothings the matter fry, now that I turbocharged the matter compressor
