This will take place ~24 hours from now. Feel free to post and upvote questions beforehand in this post, as it will turn into the AMA tomorrow.
This is a chance for any users, admins, or developers to ask anything they’d like to myself, @nutomic@lemmy.ml , @SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml , or @phiresky@lemmy.ml about Lemmy, its future, and wider issues about the social media landscape today.
Thx!
I see why people think that’s a problem, but in reality, its more of a feature. For example, take communities named
!news, that pertain to completely different topics, or locations, based on their instance:or
These are all news communities, yet should stand on their own: each with their own set creators, moderators, users, rules, posts, comments, culture, and topics. It makes no sense to combine them given all these differences.
Sure! Multi-Communities are an open issue, that I’m sure someone will take on eventually.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !news@startrek.website
Thank you for making it clear this is a conscious design decision. I very much disagree with it. Multicommunities, like multireddit do not adress this terrible problem. I think lemmy is now doomed to repeat reddit’s mistake. Hopefully in 10-15 years the lemmy successor will see the light about this problem.
