They like Lemmy World but don’t like the fractured idea of each instance having the same name for a community.
Ahh, steer your mod friends away from lemmy.world. They’re having problems right now because of their high visibility (biggest instance). They’re having issues like server overload, DDOS attacks, bot attacks. Recommend an instance that’s not heavily loaded and regionally close.
People that don’t understand the Fediverse architecture can have trouble with it. Explain it’s not the instance that matters other than how well it performs locally. The content is all there for everyone to interact with regardless of the instance.
Also explain that communities may share the same prefix name but people commonly make the mistake of thinking they are two communities with the same name. They are not. The full name for a community includes the instance that hosts it. For example [email protected] is not the same community as [email protected] even though they share the same prefix name.
I will not be taking your advice. You should have seen Reddit when they had to deal with a huge influx of Digg users at the beginning. It was just as bad.
I think they have done a really good job dealing with all of this. It’s growing pains. They need time to get things nailed down.
In the meantime, there’s benefits of creating your communities on the largest instance. That’s why I created mine here on Lemmy World.
