@briongloid Not admins. Users should be able to do it.

As an admin, there is no way I can be across all of the niche subtleties and naming schemes of communities I'm not involved in. If I have to group them, I'm going to get it wrong.

If it's going to sit anywhere above the individual level, it should be at the community mod level, not the instance admin level. But of course, many community mods aren't going to want to actively point people at other larger communities that overlap with theirs.

@Matte I haven't found that. I mean, luck is definitely involved of course, because it has dice, but with good preparation, you can mitigate the luck elements, and it becomes more a game of longer term planning than make or break based on a single roll.

That being said, Rallyman Dirt also has an interesting change that addresses part of that. The lead player rolls different white dice to the other players, with a slightly higher chance of failure. So being in first place for too long increases your risk, but giving up first place makes it hard to be certain you'll get it back.

As an instance admin, the instances that I block are explicitly ones that I don't want my users to be able to subscribe to for any reason because they are full of bigotry and hate.

If I have a user that really wants to subscribe to a blocked instance, then chances are my instance is the wrong one for them.

@beto It might be a good idea to not do that thing that happened with Mastodon, where everyone thinks the Mastodon is the Fediverse. There is more to the #threadiverse than just lemmy!

tbh, there is no such instance. Not blocking any other instances is often a reason to be blocked by other instances.

An instance that blocks no one is in effect a "free" speech instance that prioritises the right to be bigoted over the need to provide safe spaces for folk. And that means that instances that value the need for safe spaces over "free" speech are going to block the instances that don't block anyone else as a means of creating and maintaining that safe space.

@Percy Several people on lemmy.one seem to be having similar issues. It might just be a load thing

[–] Ada@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (5 children)

@Percy It's not ideal, but you can also manually form the URL to load the instance if it's not yet turning up in a search.

Basically the format is like this

mylemmy.domain/c/remotecommunityname@remoteinstance.name

So to view !projectzomboid@midwest.social from my home lemmy instance of blahaj.zone, I would type the following

https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

And to view it from lemmy.one, you would type the following (though I can't test this one)

https://lemmy.one/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

Just like moving away from twitter

@Designate6361 We didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning.

@Generator And just like Mastodon and the fediverse at large, after initial growing pains, we will find a way

@Kichae As I understand it, the proposal is basically just an interface thing at the user level. So a user can choose to display multiple technology groups from different instances together.

@gun There is talk of allowing user to group multiple communities together in to a sort of virtual community.
