Hello everyone,
Basically the title.
In my case, I’m trying to address the regularly brought up issue about Lemmy/Kbin only being about memes, tech and news.
Hence, I’m trying to post regularly on
As we all know, growing a community is hard, but I hope that over time they will become more populated.
I see. Yes, having a backup community makes sense, but at the same time, I always feel like having both similar communities creates a lot of other issues.
I never really know if I should post on [email protected] or [email protected] for instance. I usually do it on the .ml one because it seems more active, but I also feed bad for people only on the .world who might miss content
That doesn’t happen because everything is federated, the .world users will also see the posts on .ml, they can upvote/downvote, comment etc. and vice-versa.
I know it’s true in theory, but in practice I have seen some LW users only wanting to browse their local feed, or not wanting to subscribe to .ml communities.
Another issue with having the same content posted twice is that the same discussion could just happen twice, bringing discussion fatigue to the people that just discussed the same topic in another thread.
