For the unaware, is a alternative to platforms such as Reddit and Tildes.
I've been using Lemmy as one of my main social platforms for the past 6 months...
It’s not that hard to just check a few of the communities and see which ones are active, and then post to those ones
Everyone will be different, but I can attest that these types of decisions do slow my workflow down:
Which communities could I post to?
Are there any communities my instance hasn’t federated with yet? (Check Lemmyverse.net)
Should I post to all of the communities?
Just post to the most subscribed or most active?
Post to the smallest and crosspost to the larger ones?
This can take more than just “a couple minutes”, and I’m pretty sure I am in the minority of users, even on Lemmy, who are willing to put in the effort.
Proposal 3 in the article seems to be an elegant solution which also does not give a single community all of the power.
Yeah, I’m all for making stuff smooth with these different proposals, I didn’t mean it to sound like I was not. I was just saying that making things easy is not always the best or most valuable of the goals.
