This is what I mean…Left is tchncs.de, right is Lemmy.ml

Edit: Also, trying to access those communities that don’t appear in the search result for specific instance, gives this message

    I think it could be a good thing overall

    each community might have a different culture so you can choose which to participate in

    like r/gaming vs. r/games on reddit

    both are ‘gaming’ communities but are not really the same in content

      As long as it is like that, i would agree. But i fear there might be competing communities that are mostly similar. Might be that through Darwinian selection at one point the fittest community survives but until then it might get confusing.

        yeah I’ll be interested to see how it all plays out starting on the 12th, and especially after July 1st

        we will likely see multiple communities vying to be ‘top dog’ in their respective specialties

        as far as I can tell this really isn’t a problem for other federated software like Mastodon because people just use hashtags over there instead of defined communities with rules like reddit/lemmy where people ‘join’ and generally hang out

        either way I’m excited to see what happens
