  • Why not keep your account to talk about Lemmy?

  • Thank you for your comment, hope you like it here.

  • Maybe ~20% or posts I see are talking about Reddit or talking about Lemmy in relation to Reddit. It’s annoying.

    People talk about Reddit now due to the influx last week.

    Usually Reddit isn't that discussed.

  • extra-instance account transfer request is going?

    You mean settings or content?

    Settings have been exportable for a while now.

    Content cannot be and probably never will. Even Mastodon doesn't allow it:

    Mastodon currently does not support importing posts or media due to technical limitations, but your archive can be viewed by any software that understands how to parse Activity Streams 2.0 documents.

  • For example, lemmy.ml/c/linux_gaming and lemmy.world/c/linux_gaming have around the same number of subscribers. Should I post to both? Maybe the same people subscribe to both, so that’s pointless?

    .ml and world don't really share the same views and vibes

    it doesn’t seem like it went anywhere?

    Some communities consolidated. Electric cars did a few weeks ago. Cooking communities back in the days.

    Some communities prefer to stay on their own.

    !communitypromo@lemmy.ca is trying to solve that issue, but regularly posting "the" community on a topic. But you can't prevent everyone to create new communities, the same way 90% of the subreddits are probably empty with a mssing mod

  • they could be virtually joined into one memes community at the user level

    Good luck with !politics from LW, hexbear and feddit.org colliding

  • There’s no need for communities of a certain type to be on one instance.

    It's nice to have country or language-communities in the local feed of one instance. Feddit.org or jlai.lu are good examples.

  • we should guide them to pick an instance or choose a default and give them the option to change.

    Isn't that what most people are doing nowadays?
