So much talk about duplicate communities, which is just so weird to me, seeing as reddit also constantly has duplicate communities despite being centralized :D which one the main one is also sometimes changes based on events/drama

Seems to me just people being resistant to change just because it's change.

It's also my biggest complaint, but I avoid it by just browsing local all.

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but that's what I'm saying, this happens in exactly the same way on Reddit too

Just attempting to go to /r/anime for example ist still a lot easier tho.

I‘m not saying you can’t get used to it, but its obviously something thats worse. Especially if the whole federation thing is new for them.

Meh, just go to /r/anime_titties for the main global news source subreddit...

I remember duplicate communities seemed like it would be a problem, until you experience it and realise it's actually a feature of the fediverse.

I was just so used to the centralised mentality. I honestly have a hard time putting myself back in that headspace…

Thank you!

It doesn't take that many people to create an active forum. It takes even fewer to make for an active sub-forum. And it's so easy to pull in content from elsewhere here if you want to discuss it with your little group.

The push towards centralizing Lemmy has always seemed like an artifact of people not actually wanting to leave Reddit, but drawing a line in the sand anyway.

Duplicate communities are a good thing anyway.

It's crazy that on Reddit a community can get hijacked by some fucking weirdo who has control of things basically forever.

I like that the top comment went from “there are too many communities I want just one” to “Im joining to make it better for others”.
