Say what you will about reddit, at least an established subreddit was the place to gather on the topic, ie r/technology etc.
With Lemmy, doesn’t it follow that similar communities on different instances will simply dilute the userbase, for example [email protected] and [email protected]. How do we best use lemmy as a (small c) community when a topic can be split amongst many (large C) Communities?
This is an earnest question, in no way am I suggesting lemmy is inferior to reddit. I’m quite enjoying myself here.
This assumes that power doesn’t corrupt and that the big “kind” communities don’t eventually turn bad.
That’s exactly the point: if they become “bad”, we can always move to another one with the same name but on another instance
This is such a great feature and advantage.
