Posting on other instances? (lemmy.cloudhub.social)

I like that Lemmy can post on other instances (communities on other instances), but thinking about it, would that not present a potential issue with centralizing information about a topic on one instance?

I know it's kind of similar to having themed Mastodon instances (and I also don't really understand those), but it seems like a potential issue?

I know multiple instances can have the same communities, but that then seems like fracturing the conversation?

Could this just be due to my limited knowledge/use of the fediverse?

Fracturing the conversation also isn't a super bad thing. From my end, I subscribe to many of the same type of topic across multiple instances, and it's seamless to me for reading and replying. If one instance suddenly went away I'm sure users would quickly migrate to one of the duplicates.

That’s true, it has been pretty seamless. ~~Though, for example, my instance doesn’t seem to have any of the comments from this thread, and I’m not really sure why…~~

I might have spoken too soon, checking again and I can see them now. Also, interestingly, my mastodon account is following my Lemmy account and also able to see my main post plus the comments/responses, which is pretty slick.

I run my own, so I know this pain well. One thing I had to do was make sure I selected EVERY language in the admin settings, and in my user settings I selected nothing. Then it took about a day for my server to federate out better and stabilise. Now I get new posts no problem, though stuff from the past doesn't show up.

I know the language issue is a weird one, and it's being actively worked on in newer releases.

Yup, there isn't any sync for content. Only push. No rss feed.
