I don't see how Lemmy will fill the gap of Reddit - it's resulting in fragmentation
(self.technology)
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Subcommunities on Beehaw:
This community's icon was made by Aaron Schneider, under the CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
strange, it's showing me here 1609 subscribers here through kbin, or what I see are kbin users subscribed to technology on beehaw while you quote directly beehaw users?
I think so, yes (though still learning). From my point of view (lemmy.click, just 83 users):
I think this shows the number of lemmy.click accounts subscribed to these remote communities.
But when I open the communities in their home instances, I get a different picture:
Idk, but if that's the case than we have a huge problem lol, because that would mean the users of each instance would tend to prefer that instance's communities, thus helping fragmentation.
Edit: just checked from lemmy.ml, and it's showing 15.5k for its community, and 1.62k for beehaw's I wonder if having something like a "cross-instance counter" is something the developers have in mind
I'm waiting for better control over filtering to be able to see what I want - the duplicate communities are a good example, being able to select all technology instances would be handy. Although will people in each one be posting the same material...perhaps we could have all the comments viewed at once while we're at it. But that makes you consider what's the point of having all these instances in the first place.
I think it's kbin users, i'm messing with my own lemmy instance and it only shows local subscribers for anything federated (including this sublemmy)
