So much talk about duplicate communities, which is just so weird to me, seeing as reddit also constantly has duplicate communities despite being centralized :D which one the main one is also sometimes changes based on events/drama

Seems to me just people being resistant to change just because it's change.

It's also my biggest complaint, but I avoid it by just browsing local all.

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah but that's what I'm saying, this happens in exactly the same way on Reddit too

When you search for a community just pick the biggest one. Really all there is to it. Honestly reddit had the same issue with similarly named subs

I remember duplicate communities seemed like it would be a problem, until you experience it and realise it's actually a feature of the fediverse.

I was just so used to the centralised mentality. I honestly have a hard time putting myself back in that headspace…

Duplicate communities are a good thing anyway.

It's crazy that on Reddit a community can get hijacked by some fucking weirdo who has control of things basically forever.

You can check out, but you can never leave.

I just left a comment 2 years ago or so that got me permanently banned and came here and never looked back. Can't get my wife to switch because there's not enough stuff here. She got an account but just went back 2 days later.

Great quote but one of the points is that Lemmy makes it easier to switch between servers haha!

Now that Reddit sucks, this app is sure to take off. I’ve been banned for 3 days, but you best believe when I’m back I’m going to be recommending this app to people.

I feel that the best thing about federated social like Lemmy is just that there's no reason to engagement farm. Like I could get big on Lemmy but unless I'm able to direct that traffic somewhere else effectively, who cares?

but how will our social media platforms achieve Infinite Growth Forever without brand content??

I'm not European but isn't Lemm.ee American?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Estonian, .ee is the country extension

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

True, although it looks like a pun so I wouldn't assume it's someone registering their local TLD.

  • .ml is Mali, but I'm confident the .ml instances aren't hosted in Mali.
  • One can still register .su (Soviet Union TLD)

I can't find their terms and conditions, but they do mention the GDPR plus their choice of 16+ instead of 18+ for age restriction makes me suspect it's somewhere European.
