I think it would be cool if something like "meta-communities" existed. Fully adjustable, fully optional. Less duplicates.

You'd sub to one meta c/memes or c/news and see a combined feed of all known instance's versions. Post to whichever you want, show up in the meta (if you want).

If you still want to block from the meta sub or individually sub to c/memes on ABC instance, you could do that. Moderation would be subject to the instance the user posted on, subject to broader instance admin's defederations and stuff.

Idk just a quick idea. Decentralization is good, but a little bit of... aggregation like this could go a long way without actually centralizing power. Could help communities (big and small niche) to grow.

Just chiming to throw some light hearted shade at lemmy.world for defederating from the piracy communities. My time on lemmy.world was really poor, and I came away not thinking too highly of Lemmy as a whole. My experience in different instances has been a world of difference, and I finally get fantastic content in my feeds and am fully on board with Lemmy

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 hour ago

Yep, their defederation from piracy comms and moderation of Luigi-related politics are my two biggest gripes with the instance administration itself.

Which instance are you using? I've been using world since start, but open to others. Never really looked into it too much.

Hexbear.net (currently chapo.chat) is good, if you're a Communist or Anarchist. What kind of interests do you have? Dbzer0 has a bunch of great piracy resources, as an example.

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

EE is nice. They won't defederate with just about anyone. But so far the mod assholery has been minimal.

[–] towelie@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

I'm on lemm.ee! It seems to have a good balance of users and sensible defederation. On mobile, the app you use make a world of a difference too. Both Jerboa and Thunder (Android) were mid tier experiences, but now I'm using Boost and it's phenomenal!

Or... And here me out... when can go descentralised ;-)

Don't take it wrong. I dislike to check multiples communities just like you but then I remember how centralised my life is and I'm fine with it.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

yeah, I thought the whole point of lemmy was not to centralize everything ... it's nice when things are spread across separate instances, as long as the instances federate

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

my man has no idea on the motivation behind federation

The chronically online weirdos on world don't like the chronically online weirdos on ml. They are both chronically online weirdos and I try to view these really active communities or names I recognize like a zoo. These people are throwing shit at eachother for our amusement. Keep it separate.

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Yes, but on which instance? Lemmy.ml is not controversy free and Lemmy.world already hosts like 50% of Lemmy alone. I think the only viable option that everyone could agree on would be another instance, but that would just leave us with 3 communities.

Relevant XKCD:

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly. Instead why don't let grow MORE NICHE communities with specific kind of memes on smaller instances?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That happens on active but themed instances like Hexbear, the problem is the drive to replicate a "generalist" instance. The fewer "general" instances the better the niches grow.

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

An entire meme instance with no users attatched to it with multiple specific meme communities

I created dullsters.net just for just one community, it could be more if there were demand for dull content or another dull community wanted to come over, but I don't have any plans to make it some big thing.
