    Memes under lemmy.ml glorified stalin just shortly ago. My first post calling Stalin a Monster and explaining a little, was just deleted. Afterwards they tried to tell me that all his crimes and crulties were fake news or necessary evils.

    Prett fucked up imho

    Yes, but on which instance? Lemmy.ml is not controversy free and Lemmy.world already hosts like 50% of Lemmy alone. I think the only viable option that everyone could agree on would be another instance, but that would just leave us with 3 communities.

    I blocked .world because it’s a centrist shit hole that serves to do nothing but piss me off with whiners who don’t do shit about fuck complaining about tankies and fascists as though their no side taking ass even has a fucking seat at the table.

    Fuck .world

    I’m quite deliberately avoiding lemmy.world, so no, we shouldn’t just put everything on there.

    It would be tight if there was a local option(What we have now) and a All option that let’s you see all the communities across all federated spaces that share that same name.

    There was some proposal that I have seen multiple times on Lemmy and at least once on the GitHub repo that communities should be able to subscribe to each other much like users can subscribe to communities. I vastly prefer this to other proposals such as auto-merging communities with the same name, which I can think of a few ways that can go wrong.

    It would also be reasonably intuitive for the average user, since following stuff is already a familiar action you take on social media. You wouldn’t really need to understand the quirks of federation to know why posting to one community makes it appear on other downstream communities. And as far as I know about ActivityPub (which is admittedly not much), it’s not a stretch use it to implement a feature like this.

    I wonder if this proposal ever reached anywhere.

        The idea that I’m talking about is actually more like communities forming a network, with chains of following. If I host a new instance and create a memes community in it, I’d like to start having that community follow memes @ lemmy.ml and memes @ lemmy.world, so that the community already has content from the get-go, but users may be able to post memes that are unique to my instance and its followers. The followers would also see memes from upstream unless my community unfollows them, as long as they don’t also follow them independently.

        This model of the network would allow each community to independently determine which other communities it thematically implies, without the user having to follow all 4 communities with the same name but different content across the platform.

        The multireddit suggestion is more like having directories/tags for communities. It wouldn’t achieve quite the same thing, but it would be useful as well. Both ideas can coexist and complement each other.

        To be fair, it is one form of centralization; although, I admit, I was twisting the meaning of the term a bit to fit my sarcastic remark.

        That being said, as primarily a shitposting lurker who only occasionally actually creates content designed for sharing, I don’t mind the extra communities. I’m no stranger to seeing reposts, and I get my kicks from leaving the odd comment that may or may not spawn some sort of rant (usually from myself, not the other parties), but hopefully just tickles someone, and then scrolling to the next. If it’s the same thing, I just keep scrollin’.

        I could see how it would be irritating to post to multiple communities designed around the same idea, but perhaps the solution is more like turning each community into an aggregate of all similar communities. You could opt your community into a master community, and any post made in one would get shared to all of them.

    All my homies hate .world and rightfully so.

    Moving more communities away from .world is what we should be doing not the other way around.

    As others have pointed out, if you try to move to .world people will just riot and make a new community elsewhere. Dont try, its a ridiculously stupid idea.

      Again something the mods have to talk about. It’s something the mods have to discuss about (the community can take part in that discussion too, democracy and stuff). We could for example merge to lemmy.ml.

              I’d say the homophobia/misogyny coming from your comment is more of a turn off to me than Marxists, personally.

            I’m sure this is the majority opinion on this instance… I’ve got a comment removed on .ml for criticizing it so no wonder you don’t see such comments often

              I got banned from Lemmy.world’s political memes community for questioning why mods were removing comments pointing out the Democrat’s involvement with the genocide in Palestine.

              Overall, most users are fine with Lemmy.ml, the haters tend to be concentrated on liberal or otherwise anti-left instances.

                To be clear: I’m not arguing for .world either. We should decentralize and focus on smaller instances

                  Sure, but the way to do that isn’t to create tons of general instances, but more specialized ones around a general topic. Lemmy.ml focuses on FOSS and Privacy, and Hexbear focuses on Leftist politics.

            .ml is on of the most abusive and censored communities I have ever seen. While I generally agree with their anti imperialism it ends there.

              I’ve been censored far more on Lemmy.world, and never on Lemmy.ml. I got permabanned from Political Memes on Lemmy.world for asking why the mods were removing comments pointing out the Democrats involvement in the genocide of Palestinians, and was tempbanned from Lemmy.world’s asklemmy comm for calling out transphobia.

              Lemmy.ml is one of the better servers with respect to “censorship,” it doesn’t defederate from the Leftist instances and it removes bigotry pretty much instantly.
