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!

    It would really help the adoption of Lemmy if we get a ‘multisub’-idea, that Reddit uses, where a user could bind multiple instances’ communities together, and make it appear as one community.

    (So I can bind all similar instances into one).

    Regardless, I won’t be going back to Reddit. If I stick around Lemmy, that’s kind of up to how I enjoy this platform & usability, but I can be quite stubborn with my ‘morals’. Once a platform is done for me, it is done lmao.

      Isn’t what you’re talking about just subscribing to the different instances communities?

        I’m not a lemmy pro, but I think subscribing to multiple communities only works if that’s all you ever subscribe to. If I decide I want to look at all the posts of /r/tech+technology+techsupport on reddit I can do that by writing the URL in that fashion. If I want a focused view of specific lemmy communities at one time I don’t know if that’s possible yet?

        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.
