Excited to test this. THanks!

Imo. This is the opposite of having a too big of a community. I think this is just a disadvantage of federation that we will eventually have to live with. The opposite is a bigger problem in my opinion, where one entity controls too much of the power.
What we really need is a better system, be it an app or chrome extension where it makes it easier for us to manage these instances version of their communities.
I don’t know what that looks like but the answer isn’t difficult to come up with because for the most part, all the lemmies will function the same as each other.
This is actually a very compelling OSS project to make. A Lemmy manager like rss readers of past.
More like throw more $$$ at the problem has been the solution.
i wish!
I’m on iOS so I’m SoL. But this is also a problem on desktop unfortunately.
And this is where it gets confusing…
If you want to view another instance from your home instance you need to do https://lemmy.world/c/thecommunityyouwanttoview@lemmy.ml
But there is no https://lemmy.world/c/lemmy.ml
<-- this will return a 4040
Ideally there would be a https://lemmy.world/c/all@lemmy.ml
or a https://lemmy.world/c/popular@lemmy.ml
Ohhhh, I know exactly what buttons to press and have time to screw around, so yeah, I’m smarter than everyone who doesn’t… not the best take my man.
There’s no standard atm but I don’t know why it would be an issue frankly. Mostly because that’s the whole point of this federation.
Isn’t that the whole point of Lemmy? So there’s no community that’s too big to fail?
This is how it’s done on mastodon
I wish I can tell you. I read it off this site too so it might be untrue. Worth a look anyway. Sorry!
Something about lemmy.ml admin having odd views posted on their reddit account. Something I read but didn’t really look into so take what I said with a grain of salt.
That would be awesome actually.
Did Christian mention anything about opensourcing the client?
Yup. Thats possible. Just need to search from your original community and subscribe from search results. Its pretty clunky but it works.
I’m seriously considering this. I created lemmydeals.com and getting the site up and running only took me an hour.
I’m thinking more about a single user instance of mastodon too because it looks like lemmy to mastodon interaction is just as clunky as lemmy to lemmy.
Another dude bought twitter just to fire everyone.
Hey fam ,
I created https://lemmydeals.com because most of the reason why I went to reddit was to find deals anyway. Hope you can go take a look!
I am working on a multi lemmy manager that Id love to get some alpha testers to.
