Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I'm very new to Lemmy, I'm trying to see how it all works and what happens here. But honestly I feel like it might be a little too decentralized? Like, I know it's the point but I feel like this doesn't make for the best experience. Communities can be on any particular instance, and you can have repeats of communities for the same things. This feels overcomplicated, but I understand why it's that way.

Also, how many people are actually doing a full switch from Reddit? I personally don't intend on leaving Reddit, I'm just leaving temporarily, but not for any specific amount of time. I think that's what most people will do, or I guess I hope so, because Lemmy still has a long way to go before it gets good enough to make a competition, especially considering the drawbacks I said before, and I don't want us to lose all those communities that went black indefinetly, even if I supported the decision.

The point of the blackout was to protest, expecting an end to it all, although many are already wishing for an end for Reddit altogether from what I can see.

Idk, I still hope Reddit doesn't die tbh, I hope they listen to reason and backtrack a bit, or we find a way to bypass the restrictions somehow, I think I saw a revanced patch to many Sync work iirc, so maybe there's hope still.

To everyone that keeps perpetuating "there's too many repeat communities on Lemmy" - please give examples.

The only example I've been able to find is c/Technology on Beehaw and c/Technology on lemmy.ml

The latter is failing to federate today (or has been down entirely), which is proving why this "problem" is actually a good thing. We can continue to talk on Beehaw's c/Technology while lemmy.ml sorts itself out.

Do you have any other examples? I haven't seen any. I'm starting to wonder if this concern is being repeated by people who don't actually use Lemmy.

There are at least 6 different communities for selfhosting.

Hopefully this can be solved with (relatively) simple UI work.
