Ah, that must be nice!
Definitely, I liked it last time I went!
Malta is a nice place to spend a few days, so small it’s almost funny
I’m also never a fan of people creating a community without at least posting something in it
They do, but they are also developed by volunteers
https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/
Every of the “Hot” app there is a solid choice, but it will probably depend on their personal preferences
Great news, I just resubscribed !
That would make sense
Agreed, I said it in another comment
Your last point might be interesting, but imagine if someone else is doing the opposite, you guys would be evening out ha ha
if people do cross posts, will i see the post only once?
will lemmy detect that i can see the original + 3 crossposts and show me only the original?
On the website, it does
Indeed, unfortunately most of the mobile apps don’t implement that feature
I agree with you to an extent, but I think there should still be a default list of blocked instances that we could provide to new joiners, so that they can at least have a base to avoid the experience OP had.
Of course that would be opt-in, but at least that would ease the adoption a bit.
Could you please share the blocked part of the JSON you get with https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim ?
That could probably help new joiners.
I’m all in favor of several communities on the same topic as long as they offer different content
Having the same link or picture shared across several communities is just detrimental to the user experience.
Also, to avoid this, maybe we should have core communities for a specific topic (for instance unions), and then they can fork if there is a need (e.g. what happened with !android@lemmy.world and !android@lemdro.id
OP, as of now, I would just suggest to block communities that are too similar.
I only have one tech community as they seemed to all be the same anyway, I’ll reassess in a few weeks if I need to select the other one.
Ignore the negativity, looks nice and the most important is that it makes you happy
It should be, at least it’s my experience since the update
Great news!
