I mean, I get the appeal. I certainly loved subscribing to tons of random niche subreddits I had no personal stakes in, just so they would pop up on my feed every once in a while serving me unexpected, but interesting stuff!
gonna miss this so much. though i'm sure this is general enough to establish itself here, too :) also i think this is one of the subreddits that could also work well with a small community anyways
I don't really care to be honest. If something's public on social media, it's public, and it's no longer on you to decide how it will be used. I really like the Stack Exchange policy that all posts are publicized under a Creative Commons license. Though they seem hell-bent on killing that, too.
It'd be cool if there was some mechanism where Community A could follow Community B, so that all posts from Community B automatically show up in A. This way, you could also aggregate communities with different names, create multiple custom front pages etc.
Well, I guess email is one counterexample. Though we can all see its issues (spam, overzealous spam filters, complete lack of "feature development", even though that's probably a good thing there).
Also, another issue I'm worried about is horizontal scalability. I hope that as communities grow it won't become cost-prohibitive to run a new instance (as it will have to mirror too much content).
Es wird schwer, mir abzugewöhnen, bei jeder zweiten Google-Suche site:reddit.com anzuhängen... So habe ich bisher immer den ganzen SEO-Spam umgangen und echte Diskussionen zu einem Thema gefunden. Ich hoffe, dass Lemmy etc. irgendwann auch die Größe erreichen, dass sie Reddit dafür ersetzen können :/
Or at least, it would be cool if they could open-source it if he doesn't plan on continuing development. That way, it could be used as a basis for a new Lemmy app.
Oh god. I do this so much, not just with books, but also with other kinds of media, and even programming projects... Sometimes I even read like 90% of a book and then for some reason start reading a completely different one and only finish the book months later.
