If it's a one off share thing it's probably fine the way you do it.

I guess our perspectives are different because I'm more active on communities that are active "in the long run", such as [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Also, most of the value of Reddit and Lemmy comes from the comments. Having splintered discussions in several similar communities prevents interesting conversations from happening.

Also the reason why you see me often advocating for less “generalized instances” and wanting more vertical focused ones.

Definitely a good point. To be honest, with a lot of countries/languages instances we're already there, and we're improving on the theme-focused instances

Almost looks like parody at this point

I see where the confusion can come from, but there is really no way around it unfortunately.

I keep bringing the email example because that has been known by pretty much everyone for decades that the complete email address is name@emailprovider

Thank you for posting

Is disagree. It means to me that there is still a preference for centralisation in the mind, which is limiting.

You still need a minimum number of active contributors to keep the communities active. If everyone wants to post to their own community, they should switch to a microblog format, there everyone has their own feed.

Communities consolidation happens all the time (see [email protected] ), because people get tired of "shouting into the void" on their community alone, and join forces with other people on a shared community.

Also, I don’t see multiple communities on different instances as a problem. We’re on the fediverse, not reddit.

It is an issue when the multiple communities have the same content and rules, and just splinter the conversation.

As someone who is doing most of the heavylifting on [email protected], I would rather have people posting additional content to it than just crossposting the content to a new community where nobody comments.

Examples:

Thank you for posting this.

But then it would look even more confusing. The picture above shows [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] . Those are three different communities, not showing it would make it more confusing.

Do people think that [email protected] and [email protected] are the same email addresses?

Home, All, Local. I see lemmy.wtf; feddit.uk; feddit.org; lemmy.world, etc…

What is confusing about Home? The description says "Posts from subscriptions"

I see lemmy.wtf; feddit.uk; feddit.org; lemmy.world, etc…

You mean thet community names have the @instance at the end? It is more confusing than an email address that is [email protected]?

Are you ever used Voyager (https://vger.app/ https://vger.app/settings/install) ? Seems quite easy to use, there is even a tool to discover similar communities to your Reddit subscriptions when you first start the app.

I regularly see people saying they just use Voyager, they don't even know what instance they are using.

Yes, spent quite some time too trying to explain who things work rather than how people thought they worked.

Not sure how much we achieved, but we tried.
