A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's shaping up to be a very cool platform and I hope with time it gets bigger than Reddit. I find the UX to be a bit clunky and not visually appealing at the moment and also the way communities work are a little confusing. Because of federation, you can have duplicate community groups and that can make content a bit segregated.
There are duplicates on reddit as well (think of r/woosh r/whosh r/woooosh etc)
Good point. But what makes it a bit more complicated is the fact that from the get go, lemmy is promoting fragmentation. When I have to choose an initial server to login into, I'm bound by their restrictions. I'm finding that I'm not able to find duplicate groups from other servers (search doesn't show it up) that I know exists and has more users that I'd like to take part of. Would be nice to have a way to streamline that somehow, but the idea of federation shows a lot of promise.
I agree. Furthermore, a feature that I like with Lemmy is that as an instance gets more popular and users subscribe to more coms the list of “all” coms gets longer and it is easier to discover new ones for new users
