  • Great thoughts on all of it. I am definitely trying to keep and open mind, but also trying to find an experience that works. With that said, I do understand that it is growing too.

    Part of my questioning is more about understanding “what is to be expected” as per design vs “what is a ‘known bug’”. So maybe I should have made that clearer from the start too.

    Side note - I saw someone post a meme on here where they showed that Lemmy is the power of multiple instances bound together, but that felt “off” given the current experience. It feels more like they are interwoven, but the strands are a little loose still. My hope is that over time that changes and the data in each community, at the very least, is consistent.

    I remain very hopeful for sure.


  • That is helpful and makes sense on different instances, but I do have some concerns on the “best effort”. I see posts across other instances and it says a disclaimer at the top that I may not be seeing all content. This is not a great experience if I have to always go to another instance to view ALL content and then, if I want to interact with said post… It is just not a great thing for Fediverse if that is the “acceptable response” from it. And I see you are trying to work around that with some uncertainty too (url normalizing). I laughed at the auto-refresh… bit, because I didn’t mention that, but I am seeing that too. :)

    I appreciate the the perspective, help and pointers.

    One thing I do still want is that “surprise” of finding something on a hot/active topic that I may not be already following. Even on “the other site”, I would flip back and forth between my Home and the top/popular to find new things to follow or get a quick chuckle.
