A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Unfortunately the owner of this list doesn't want to add unofficial communities on fediverse, so it's a very limited list

How is it even possible to have "official" vs "unofficial" categories in a decentralized, trust-based system that is designed to never be 100% interconnected?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

In the sense that it's the "official" failover of an existing reddit community. Not that it's the "official" lemmy community on a subject.

Very dissapointing. I want a clear list of places that are basically equivalent to post our new communities to help guide users. If there's an 'official' badge on there I don't care, but this reeks of "Reddit mods want people to continue their power on Lemmy" to me.

Yeah, it looks like its specifically for where the subreddit mods announced they are moving. Not just where people ended up.

"Official" is such a strange term and im truly looking forward to the end of the "migration" period.

I get that people want a similar experience to their reddit feed, but I dont understand why people see reddit affiliated communities as the best options.

At some point its better to just tear the bandaid off.
