I started moving from Reddit to Lemmy a few days ago, and since then I’ve been forcing myself to spend time here and getting myself used to it. I quickly checked the list of popular instances and decided to join lemmy.world and not beehaw because I didn’t like their decision of defederating other big lemmy instances.
I’ve been lurking lemmy.world for a bunch of days, and I like it enough not to look back at Reddit anymore, so props to that. It feels a bit chaotic though, with many tiny communities being created all the time with very few post and comments in them.
Today I decided to take a look at beehaw’s and in perspective it feels so organized and content rich that I’m quite impressed.
I guess it comes with a big amount of moderation and organized content creation work and I wonder how sustainable is that in the long run, but props to them so far for the project!
What do you think about beehaw?
why would it ? more content usually means more diversity in topics which is a good thing
my line of thought is that people seeing a community they can’t interact with might be confusing and annoying for people.
If it’s completely invisible one the defederated instances, it would probably urge people to go to more public instances, instead of trying to join and overload beehaw (like what we saw with technology community).
