That’s been an ongoing frustration for me here. People have wanted to merge communities, even to the point of trying to organize formal community mergers, or merge duplicate posts in the client, all of which works to reproduce the culture and structure of Reddit.

But, like, c/politics on lemmy.ca and c/politics on midwest.social are going to be wildly different communities. And c/technology on programming.dev and lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml should probably be having very different discussions, even if they’re about the same article, and trying to force those discussions into the same space doesn’t really make sense.

But people want it, because heaven forbid they miss one of 90 boner jokes.

If people are asking, it’s worth the 12 seconds it takes to post a link to a BW instance. They should just make sure it’s to a general instance, and not to a server selection page.

This is baasically correct, though what the models actually produce is a little more randomized than that. Though, if there aren’t any words that are anywhere cllose to being likely to follow next, then there won’t be a any other valid options to choose.

Her political career will be fine. She can always run as a Republican.

But also,her standing in the Democratic Party might be fine, too. Don’t underestimate how much they want to put the even vaguely leftists into their place, or how afraid they are of having all of these Muslims on their ballots.

This is cool. I hope it gets support from instances.

But also, these projects just slap a bulletain board costume on Lemmy and Piefed. Which is great – I was reallly disappointed that LemmyBB seemed to die – but there are forum-first options out there, too. Discourse has an AP plugin, and I think that’s actively maintained. More interesting to me, though, is nodeBB.

Seriously, people should check out nodeBB. It’s super cool.

People should not expect a seamless experience across totallly different communities of people. Reddit is not a seamless experience. Rules and norms are different across subs.

The internet works better with fragmentation. It always has. Trying to treat everything as homogenous is stifling.
