I don’t mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I’m curious about people’s outlook on this situation.

Edit: Wow this blew up!

Edit 2: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!

Edit 3: RIP my inbox! I can’t believe this made /r/all!

Edit 4: We did it Reddit! Lemmy!

    Yes and no. I could subscribe to multiple instances of ‘news’, but on Reddit I often also just went to /r/news and scrolled the news.

    I could subscribe to multiple instances, but it’d be nice to have a ‘multicommunity’ and just scroll the one page, instead of having to navigate to multiple communities.

      A multicommunity feature is something I’d like to see too. The way I understand it, right now, there’s no incentive for a small instance to start a community if there’s a larger instance that has one (e.g. !memes). This seems to be counterintuitive to the Fediverse’s distributed model.

      It would be helpful to see every new instance get a set of recommended communities that are the most popular across Lemmy instances so that they can create it locally and participate in that global multicommunity.
