Title is a bit of a loaded question but I tried to fit it into one sentence.

Do you think Lemmy's search and use functions are hurt by all the communities that were made and abandoned during the 2023 Redditfugee influx? As in, do you think that Lemmy would be better off if some of these communities were consolidated into larger general pages until it gets a big enough user base to warrant individual communities for specific TV shows, for example.

The second is content repetition. People (and bots) will frequently post the exact same content to multiple communities and multiple instances

Kbin shows where links have been posted on other federated servers. It's 10/10 for finding what community is actively discussing a post. I even found a few new subs I gave up on being active here.

@Sabata11792 it's great, we can see at a glance exactly where the active discussions are, when the crossposts are etc.

That update seriously reinvigorated my enthusiasm for KBin as a platform. It's really nice to see a story I find interesting, regardless of magazine/community, then see where folks are actually discussing it.

@wjrii me too - and if there's more than one discussion, sometimes they have gone in different directions.

I also like the way it gives me a chance to upvote the original poster, and see communities I didn't know were out there.

And, it helps avoid reposts within the same community, not to mention the phenomenon I saw recently where a post got posted in community A, cross-posted in community B, and then reposted as a cross-post from community B into community A again. :D
