I subscribed to this community with alts on the most populous instances:

  • lemmy.world
  • sh.itjust.works
  • lemmy.ml
  • beehaw.org
  • discuss.tchncs.de
  • reddthat
  • lemmy.blahaj.zone
  • lemmy.ca

So those at least should be covered, but it's always good to see if people from different instances are correctly federated too

Not sure if you've heard of this, but https://lemmy-federate.com/ is a tool which automatically does the same thing, and has the benefit of letting instance admins disable it as well if they don't want it.

Thanks! I heard about it before, but I wasn't completely sure it was working as most of the communities seemed "in progress"

Also having people commenting is a way to show familiar nicknames :)

I would've said "goeiemorgen" if I got here a few hours ago. Now I just entered noon and I missed my chance.

Hello! How is your shoulder doing? Do you still swim?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hi blaze!

Shoulder is fully recovered! Thank you for thinking of me. I still swim, just swam today even. Signed up with a trainer and improved my form and technique so haven't had issues for awhile!

The trainer is great in other dimensions too, we are working on overall resistance training too. Seen some great improvements.

How have you been Blaze?

[–] Blaze@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sounds great, happy to hear your shoulder is recovered!

On my side, things are good, as always trying to animate "casual" communities on Lemmy such as this one and the ones in the sidebar. Good to see people in this one, it's mostly a chill place

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 2 points 5 months ago

I do enjoy the chill vibe. Not that many arguments happen here

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't like that approach. People will discover your community and subscribe on their own. There's places to advertise new communities.

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

TBF, it's more about migrating the community over and trying to not lose people who didn't see the announcement post.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I don't see how would making a dozen alts and subscribing to it help with that specific purpose. This tactic is only useful for making the community posts visible on the all tab of these communities.

[–] Blaze@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your work on your instance and all the integrations you did.

Regarding your criticism about this approach, I see where you come from, and I wouldn't want new communities to use it. However, for the context

Community migrations are a sensitive topic, a lot of the mods I talk with don't want to leave Lemmy.world, even if they are now a bottleneck (technical details here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/17963030).

This migration is a test to see if migration of large communities can be done, hence this approach of making sure that the new community would be visible to the most users possible.

I hope this make our approach more reasonable, but let me know what you think.
