It’s a little daunting to me that in some cases there are 2 or more communities between the federated alternatives; what’s the best way to corral these? I had thought I could perhaps subscribe to Lemmy instances on kbin; is that correct? If so, how? Thank you in advance.
Edit: Well, this is sort of embarrassing but when I was searching for the other communities, I was accidentally searching threads instead of magazines and of course not finding anything so that’s the answer as to HOW to subscribe [when it comes to kbin]. My point stands, though, that having so many communities is a bit cumbersome. I guess I will let it percolate a bit and see how it feels.
Yeah, I ran into this the other day. I started m/Skeptic because it didn’t exist. Later I found m/Skeptics. And then there was another one, I forget now what that was.
Maybe some of us can merge as we proceed and find our people? But maybe having a couple isn’t the worst thing, if they have some differences.
That’s what I’ve been hoping will happen - it would be cool for networks to pop up too like how there were for some subreddits.
Also, if they ever add lists they could work like a “multireddit” to corral all the same type of community into one feed at least on the user-end.
There is issue #818: Support for grouping communities / multi-communities
Quoting from this statement of the devs:
Hopefully someone with the know-how who’s joined up recently will join up cause I don’t know the first thing about it.
Any way to see what actual stuff they’re working on currently?
