This will take care of the other commenters point about having to manually subscribe to everything. I just had it pull the top 500 communities from the top two instances and I'm fine...
Man how many people even know what this is lol
I'm not sure either understand the fact Lemmy has language settings that aren't apparently used. Seems this can be solved by just setting the language to "English" for instance...
These are the comments that make Lemmy great.
It's not surprising as the motivations are quite different. Reddit wants their app to be a shitty Facebook clone while Memmy/Lemmy focus on the user experience.
I can't help but wonder if this would be better served at the client level. Either way I miss this feature.
Voat was a replica of Reddit in design. One centralized server. We would have ended up in the same crappy place even if that were a success because at some point they would have wanted to monetize it also.
You have to do some reading and learn about the technology behind Lemmy and federation to understand.
lemmyverse.net ?
Thank you very much for the work on this! I just created a topic about this and yours is the most interesting solution!
The idea of this app, which is desperately needed, is to allow those of us that are running a very small private instance to still get access to all of the communities. If you have a decent user base then you don't need this anymore as the users themselves will provide the functionality.
So in my case I am the only user on my instance so I am certainly not going to be hammering a bunch of instances just to send me updates of whatever total number of communities I'm subscribed to.
Thanks! I was hoping it would auto-sync and get the newest communities but I understand now how it works. Thank you!
As far as I can tell this is just an article where someone's theorizes Musk's plan?
