As a new reddit exile, I may be misunderstanding this.

In theory something like a !gaming community could crop up on multiple large instances, especially during the mass exodus while instances are getting hammered with spikes in volume.

If that’s the case, we’ll have fragmented communities across instances. Is there any way besides subscribing to each of them to combine them into a sort of multi-reddit type aggregation? Or is this considered a temporary (albeit important to adoption) problem during the crazy stages?

    I’m sorta starting to miss the days of usenet and web forums. Although it was all spread over several “instances” it was still discoverable and nicely hierarchical and it was easy to get an over view of the activity and current topics.

      loaded up IRC yesterday, the “more simple” Uis are still easier to process, but people hate them. Id go back to vt100 and macros for social. Just give me some basic rendering for images and rickrolls.
