Absolutely, it’s a great game.

The fun part of this game is hearing such differing opinions, I had someone explain that Block Koala was their favorite. I personally didn’t gel with Planet Zoldath, it’s conceptually neat but I found it very tedious. Glad you enjoy it though!
You didn’t read the post. The suggestion is to make the platform more decentralized not centralized. I’m not even going to reply to most comments in this thread that also, clearly, did not read the post and is making stuff up.
Right? Who gives a shit about user experience anyways? When someone has an issue, you just tell them to man up and figure it out.
No, it’s not always obvious which is the “main” community and there are many communities that died due to lack of traction, often because there are duplicate communities that also lacked traction. Community following would not only help unify communities and unify comments in crossposts, it also encourages decentralization by making 5 useful communities instead of 4 dead and 1 active.
It’s not insane or narcissistic to want to reach a big audience. The same audience, across multiple instances, without effort. It’s social media 101. Saying who cares to that is a great way to see a dwindling userbase. Maybe you can’t feel it because it doesn’t directly affect your usage, but it does many others, and providing an optional solution is not a bad thing to consider.
I’d also like to take this moment to show that this is the most popular issue in Lemmy’s github, getting over twice as many likes as the 2nd most liked issue. Everyone convincing eachother in the comments that nobody cares about this is clearly wrong, and are being so in an insanely toxic and dismissive manner. Thanks.
Same solutions apply. They don’t have to be across different instances to be able to group them somehow.
I hope they can revisit the idea. There are many cases of duplicate communities splintering the community, making finding content more difficult.
Followed posts would just link to the original post and wouldn’t be a crosspost, yeah. So assuming a
and b
are following each other, a post from a
would show up in b
. If someone in b
clicks on the post, they would just open the same post from a
.
Ideally only one post would be made, no crossposts. One pancake post would be on your feed, and that same post would be visible from other communities
Obsessive and narcissistic because there are many duplicate communities and it’s frustrating to try and find out which ones to use? Okay…
All this work to make Lemmy “more organized” feels like it’s missing the point that communities here on Lemmy actually have the opportunity to grow organically, instead of being forced open by bots and fake engagement like on Reddit.
Does it mean the average user has to do more work for community discovery? Yes. Get used to it and stop trying to ruin a good thing by trying to make it more like the corporate shitholes we have been trying to escape.
It just sounds like you didn’t read the post and made up a narrative in your head about what it’s about.
I’m aware that people are slowly grouping up to one specific community per topic but I don’t think this means there isn’t an issue with communities being fractured. Using a third party tool to gauge which communities are popular also isn’t a great solution. Just searching Linux shows:
I don’t think each one of these communities has a different audience. It’s the same audience, but there isn’t an obvious answer for which one to visit or post in.
You can backflip in mid-air which is useful to go a little higher or cancel the direction you’re moving in. I don’t remember the exact control for it, but I think it was double tapping after jumping.
