I would love to be more active in posting links to articles and websites I find interesting to the fediverse, but I find that searching for the appropriate community can be a hassle. With so many different instances hosting the same communities, it can be difficult to know where to post. Is there a Firefox extension that would allow me to quickly and easily post links to a single Lemmy community (for example https://reddthat.com/c/random)? I’m envisioning something like a bookmarking tool that lets me post the website I’m viewing with a single click. If there isn’t an existing extension that does this, I’d be interested in finding a similar program that I could use for inspiration to create one myself.
lemmy experience intensifies
I said months ago the same thing. I think the power of the fediverse IS NOT the multiple different communities. Rather the ABILITY TO create multiple different communities.
And the example I use is a community for dads. Somebody creates a community for dads and parenting advice on lemmy.world.
And then it gets popular.
So somebody else creates that same community on lemm.ee
But why? Now 40% of the dads are on lemmy.world, 20% are on lemm.ee, and 40% are on both. It would make sense if there were a problem on lemmy.world, but until there IS a problem, stop trying to fix problems that may or may not happen later.
The fediverse take a bit too much pride on the concept of being decentralized. To the point where it doesn’t feel like a united set of communities. It just feels fractured.
It’s ok to FEEL centralized…until shit goes down. The you can pull out the decentralized card, start a new community, and pull the rotten tooth. But until it’s needed, don’t add extra uneeded tooth implants.
…ok, that analogy got away from me a bit, but you guys get my point, right?
