(Reminder: if you have shared the original version in a public post with an old version up, replacing it with this one might be more helpful.)

I want to preface, if you see a mistake in the image or have something helpful to add, go right ahead! I still have the layered files for this, so edits can be made very quickly. I chose to handwrite the text to avoid font copyright infringement.

Feel free to share this poster as you wish, especially on Reddit. All I ask is that you respect the license and don’t remove my socials at the bottom. If anyone’s addition is included, I’ll credit them, and if this gets added onto (or translated) by someone else later, they can add their info as well.

I hope someone can find it useful with the subreddit blackouts right around the corner.

I want to thank the Beehaw admins so much for their amazing work!

(Poster edited; I spotted a duplicated word, [email protected] noted the lack of whitespace; current version is slightly larger and has been spaced out. You can still request the 800x2000 size, but know it is a little squished.)

(Edit 2: Removed defederation part as it’s not really required. The email analogy [email protected] suggested has been added, thanks!)

(Edit 3: Here’s another version making the interconnectivity a bit clearer and mentioning some cool-looking reader apps that have been suggested! Also made the image slightly longer for ease of viewing. I might do some small cosmetic changes tomorrow)

(Edit 4 is here with the date updated towards the bottom. This version contains a reminder to verify your email, lets people know why mlem isn’t showing up on App Store searches, and added fedia.io to Kbin instances. Some colors have been changed slightly to be more mobile friendly, as this is written and edited from a phone tablet. If you have a hard time reading this because of the changes, please let me know. Thank you all for the help and tips!)

    Can I “combine” those communities? What about duplicate posts across communities? For example, there’s likely to be multiple gaming communities, i don’t mind subscribing to multiple, but I don’t want to see the same posts from both. Alternatively, if one gaming community “wins” - basically becomes default: then what? Sounds like we’d be reliant on whoever owns that community again.

      you cant combine them as such, you would have them both in your main feed though.

      aggregated subscriptions are a feature being looked at for the future apparently though. which would be cool. you could have 5 different versions of one community, if one is outside of what you want to see you could block just one of them.

      Pretty sure combining communities isn’t possible, from what I’ve read the idea is that after a bit the most popular incarnations of any particular community will win out and the problem should somewhat solve itself. Don’t think that solves the problem of being overly reliant on a single instance to host that community tho.

        Isn’t having multiple communities instead of a default one a strength instead of a potential issue? Like, sure, if you’re personally following more than one you’ll likely end up running across repeating posts, but should one of them become a problem in any way the users can just abandon it for one of the others. Kinda like what happened with r/curatedtumblr, but the “new” option has been there all along. Plus, some will naturally prefer sticking to the smaller ones.

          one of the potential features being talked about is topics that could act as an aggregate of multiple communities, that would effectively solve that issue if it gets implemented.
