Isn’t that intentional though? I don’t believe many instances, especially the small ones, can afford to federate every community. Sure, sometimes it can be a bit annoying but you can always check on lemmyverse.
Lemmy has been feeling pretty empty the past couple of days. That just really goes to show how important federation really is.
Since 1.19 launched it is. Now you can export your subscriptions and settings to another Lemmy account
Same. It’s amazing how much time I have when the algorithm isn’t shoving me endless content, trying to keep me engaged.
It’s not dead. Sure a few instances have gone down, for which I’m very sad, but it doesn’t mean lemmy is dead. Even with these setbacks I remain hopeful and still believe in the fediverse.
It’s always the small instances full of passion.
It’s seems like you ignored my point entirely just to argue on a technicality. As I asked, should Reddit content reposted by bots be something a new user should see?
Also browsing /all is a great way to discover new communities, but even if you don’t browse it bot communities find their way into the discover communities tab, which makes it more difficult for people find the communities that they want to follow.
I see what you’re trying to accomplish and congratulate you for trying to make Lemmy a better place, but I don’t think it’s a good idea. As many people here I’ve blocked @[email protected] precisely because it just posts Reddit content and floods my feed, with what is basically spam. Also many people came here just to avoid Reddit and to try and make something better. Sure, when 0.19.0 comes out and people will be able to block instances, lemmings will have a choice if they want to see that instance, but what about new users, or people just checking Lemmy out? Do we really want them to see reposted reddit content? Because they can already do this on reddit. What we need is to stop being so invested in “our ex” and just grow as a community, in a natural way.
Wow, I didn’t know I was in r/AskReddit
I haven’t gone fishing in a long time but from my experience it’s really peaceful. As another commenter said, kind of like meditation. Also, catching the fish feels really rewarding.
Most people just love the thrill and some crank it to 11. Once we went fishing with my grandfather and his friends, in a regular small boat. With us was a guy they had met there last year, who had bought a pretty expensive boat just for fishing, not to talk about all the other equipment he had.
It’s a passion for a lot of people.
