What is that?
I don't agree that they are solutions. The only proposed solutions are in the new github issue that someone created.
did you just want to bitch and argue?
I want lemmy to be better. I want it to be a viable alternative to reddit so people will leave that site.
Even your ping idea wouldn’t have worked here
Why not? When the person created the sub it would have sent out a ping to all federated instances, and thus when any account on a federated instance searches the keyword they would find that sub. IE: each instance would have a list of subs of all other federated instances. Like a sitemap.
It’s not too big of an issue if you’re from big instance as people will likely look for more community to subscribe
Yeah that's what I thought, and I assumed that shitjustworks was big enough to not have to worry about that, but apparently not. So I think this is one of the biggest problems with lemmy right now.
which makes people migrate to bigger instance, and defeat the purpose of having multiple instance
Bingo.
I'm not even subscribed to that, and even if I was, and it was a default subscription for every new lemmy.world user, I don't think it's a good replacement for a functional search or an all that includes all posts from federated instances. I see lots of posts on all-hot with 0-5 upvotes so it seems fine if it actually showed all communities on federated instances (which it doesn't).
I don't really care for right-left, especially in a situation like this. Anti-reddit shouldn't be right vs left. It's great if we can find equal ground.
Perfect, thank you!
Yeah, the whole point of lemmy is to not be like that... so it definitely needs improvement.
This works quite well usually.
I definitely don't agree. I think this is very problematic. I rely on all to find new communities. I don't think one newcommunities sub is a valid replacement. It would suffer from the same issue -- people would have to spam their post to every single instances's newcommunities sub, which is ridiculous and not even viable.
The number of subscribers being completely different depending on which instance you search from is really weird/bad too IMO.
Really annoying that they keep advertising reddit in their videos. Someone make them stop please.
Isn't it mostly text? Why would that be a heavy burden? Isn't there an option to disable local hosting of images & videos?
