A bit paradoxal but it looks that all central platform (twitter, reddit, facebook...) are helping the spread of Fediverse. Recently we saw the impact with Twitter on Mastodon, myself I've discovered Lemmy even if I wasn't a reddit user. And before that Facebook first spread friendica and diaspora. It looks next step will be around Youtube where Google try to lock more and more its user.

I figured that much out.

The only problem is, as people have mentioned before me, is that there is a very good chance that there will be running_doom_on_obscure_things on lemmy.ml and "running_doom_on_obscure_stuff" on lemmy.world and "correre_doom_sul_cose_strani" on feddit.it. I believe that adding tags could solve that issue. On the other hand, it would mean that we have a doubled system. Which is not necessarily bad.

There should be an option for these two communities to sync each other.
