I agree, theres no need to fight

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 hours ago

I blocked .world because it's a centrist shit hole that serves to do nothing but piss me off with whiners who don't do shit about fuck complaining about tankies and fascists as though their no side taking ass even has a fucking seat at the table.

Fuck .world

[–] Haaveilija@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

How about rebasing instead of merging to get a more linear meme history?

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 26 points 9 hours ago

I'm quite deliberately avoiding lemmy.world, so no, we shouldn't just put everything on there.

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago

MAKE .WORLD EVERYTHING!

It would be tight if there was a local option(What we have now) and a All option that let's you see all the communities across all federated spaces that share that same name.

[–] kplaceholder@lemmy.ml 72 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

There was some proposal that I have seen multiple times on Lemmy and at least once on the GitHub repo that communities should be able to subscribe to each other much like users can subscribe to communities. I vastly prefer this to other proposals such as auto-merging communities with the same name, which I can think of a few ways that can go wrong.

It would also be reasonably intuitive for the average user, since following stuff is already a familiar action you take on social media. You wouldn't really need to understand the quirks of federation to know why posting to one community makes it appear on other downstream communities. And as far as I know about ActivityPub (which is admittedly not much), it's not a stretch use it to implement a feature like this.

I wonder if this proposal ever reached anywhere.

The idea that I'm talking about is actually more like communities forming a network, with chains of following. If I host a new instance and create a memes community in it, I'd like to start having that community follow memes @ lemmy.ml and memes @ lemmy.world, so that the community already has content from the get-go, but users may be able to post memes that are unique to my instance and its followers. The followers would also see memes from upstream unless my community unfollows them, as long as they don't also follow them independently.

This model of the network would allow each community to independently determine which other communities it thematically implies, without the user having to follow all 4 communities with the same name but different content across the platform.

The multireddit suggestion is more like having directories/tags for communities. It wouldn't achieve quite the same thing, but it would be useful as well. Both ideas can coexist and complement each other.

isn't the point of the fediverse to not consolidate?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 hours ago

Options are better than useless limitations (ignoring scope creep)

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

I created an instance for one specific community so that users won't be affected by who federates from who (unless you're a spam instance or something like that)

but lemmy.ml users are by far funnier and more based

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 43 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Crazy talk. Next you're gonna say we only need one 196 instead of five.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair onehundrednintysix exists because the 196 mods are a bunch of shitlibs, also 19864 exists because tbh I thought it was funny and I still do (also its more left wing)

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

So if I'm right about this....

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Also 19864 was originally a subreddit that I used to be very active in and I just wanted it here (the rest is accurate)

Quick! Someone crosspost this to !memes@lemmy.world

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 29 points 22 hours ago (5 children)

Yeah let's just centralize all of this bullshit.

/s

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Centralize the output but it's only replicated across each imstance.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah we eventually got to that in the other comments. It was a whole thing

All my homies hate .world and rightfully so.

Moving more communities away from .world is what we should be doing not the other way around.

As others have pointed out, if you try to move to .world people will just riot and make a new community elsewhere. Dont try, its a ridiculously stupid idea.

no, because not everyone likes to join lemmy.world because of the fedipact.

It didn’t used to be like this. Maybe take it up with the brave patriot who’s made it his sacred duty to repost ml memes to world, in the hopes of convincing the world admins to defederate from ml. https://lemmy.world/comment/15251475

There should be a way to see the content from different communities with the same name but from different instances in the same page, like some sort of automatic multireddit. The content would probably be limited to instances federated with your home instance but even then it's something I would like to have.

Your proposal is much too streamlined.

Perhaps you presume memes are a commodity of which consumption should be maximized!

Nay, I say. Memes are an essential nutrient that becomes toxic in larger doses.

Thus, they must be scattered about in the environment to be encountered by happenstance whilst I pursue my main information foraging goal of finding ad hoc justification for my durable sense of dread.

Memes, uhh, find a way.

Do whatever you want but I am planning many epic shitposts pretty much anywhere I can get a reaction.
