Beehaw's number of communities, and why it makes sense in c/fedigrow@lemm.ee
[–] Blaze@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

But not every instance has the same governance as lemmy.zip.

Agreed

Would you also be fine with some community becoming de facto reference on beehaw.org or hexbear.net or lemmy.world?

No, and that's why I listed SJW and lemm.ee in my OP (to be honest, I should probably change LW to lemmy.zip)

Beehaw is too deferated indeed.

Hexbear comes with their own specific stance.

LW, I feel like they are okay for now. The major issue I see with them is the federation with Threads, but that can always change (and probably will if we get millions of trolls at once)

I guess my idea would be to have a subset of instances that are compatible, rules and federation wise (lemmy.zip, lemm.ee, SJW, Reddthat.com), and spread communities among them, with one reference community on one single instance.

LW centralization is an issue on its own, but that's the subject of another thread already.

If you look at any profile page, it's the classic Mastodon layout: https://veganism.social/@mascottus

The probably just customized the home page

If you really want something a bit less austere than Mastodon you can have a look at https://iceshrimp.social/

What happens when someone posts to a local version of a community whose home instance no longer exists? I assume local users can see the post, but it doesn’t federate to any other instances?

Correct

Agree with your other point too

I found my latest job there. Some companies tend to mostly post in LinkedIn rather than other job boards. I guess it's probably country dependent

Is Lemmy.world centralization worth fighting against? in c/fedigrow@lemm.ee
[–] Blaze@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Indeed, but the issue is when one third of the population is there

Probably a very polarizing question.

On the one hand, having most of the users and communities on LW causes technical issues (see this post), and also gives the LW staff too much power over Lemmy as a whole.

On the other hand, with 18k MAU on LW out of 47k (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/), every community listed there has a much higher chance of visibility compared to an alternative hosted on another instance

Beehaw's number of communities, and why it makes sense (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

When you look at https://beehaw.org/communities, you can see that there are only a few communities, but they are diverse enough to cover most of the topics you would have to discuss on the Internet.

I sometimes think that could be a model we could try to replicate across several instances:

It would allow to aggregate people around a few core communities and avoid dispersion and fragmentation. Of course, it would need some agreements in the community, and some people would probably want to keep their community as "the main one" opposed to the other, but that could still be valuable.

What do you think?

Is it a good idea to post to abandoned communities about their active counterparts? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I'm mostly thinking about LW communities where nobody posts but which have active counterparts on other instances
