Any plans to improve the sorting algorithm so that there's a good balance of fresh posts at the top that's also fairly active? And to help promote smaller communities that would have otherwise been dominated by the posts from bigger instances.
Any concerns about duplicate communities across multiple instances? People have made the argument that it's like having different flavors of subreddits on Reddit, but it's a flawed analogy. Individual instances have incentive to make their own communities flourish, whether or not there's a duplicate already available.
So if I have a successful community, someone on another instance should get to ride on my work and flourish by setting up a community with the same name? This makes no sense.
Isn't that one of the side effects of having a federated universe? I don't feel it's so much riding your work as it is combining conversations within a single deduped community.
Also, if nothing is done about it, wouldn't we keep having issues like this: https://lemmy.ca/post/2821804
Federated means accessible in a single state. It doesn't mean zero ownership or control, hence why the dictionary definition mentions internal autonomy.
Those are spammers. Block them, that's the only way they'll learn.
