    The same. One other problem is Is I have an image hover extension on my pc, and the post constantly jumping out are annoying. Even more so if the “new” stuff turns out to be days okd stuff from some forgotten instance.




  • I’m gonna repeat something from other post, but unfortunatelly, I find this a bit misleading. Other instances are at best second class citizens to your main one (or fourth class slaves in terms of UX access). (EDIT: case in point, after submitting this comment, I went directly to this post on lemmy.world and do not see it there. I’m not sure if it takes some considerable time to synchronize, but it furthers my point.)

    And unless I’m missing something, the claim that you can “read and write” everything seems to be plain false - for examle, you cannot create communities cross instance. And while one rogue instance won’t take down the whole fediverse, it will take down whole communities on that instance and all the registered users to it.

    That’s why when registering, I really didn’t want to go to any well-meant but extremely minor instances. The moment its maintainer gets bored, my whole acc would be nuked with him, and that’s where you’ll start seeing cracks in the fediverse idea.



  • That’s my problem with fediverse right now. I’m one of the fresh switchers from reddit and the fediverse interoperability has been blown out and in reality is really poor.

    Just to get to this comment (I was browsing on beehaw.org, but am registered on lemmy.ml), I could not simply copy the comment link, I had to jump through hoops just to get to this behaw post through lemmy.ml’s api (which is failing right now).

    And you cannot blame people that they want to get to the largest instance when other instances are second class citizens from your main. Not only is discoverability and interoperability a UX nightmare, some actions are simple not possible, like cross-creating communities. So much for “federation, user will not notice”.




  • That only happens when reddit doubles down on the api charges. If they stand back to make it barely usable, the migration will slowly stop imho. I really wish reddit would die, but at the end of the day, I’ll be part of the problem when I’ll probably stay where the bigger community potential will be.
