Noob question, but do I have to add a top-level comment to get my vote accounted with my flair, or is that done automatically by the bot without having to comment?
Yes, !linux@programming.dev is in a better shape.
It’s just annoying from a user perspective to have to keep up with all this intricate instance politics for a single comm. Maybe p.dev is the right choice just because it’s so uncontroversial so won’t cause issues.
Definitely. That's why I'm always advocating for a single community, all posters post there, after a bit mods of the inactive communities suggest to their communities to get locked down and point to the active one.
And yes, that's my feeling too about p.dev
Why weren’t we recommending mbin then?
Even less intuitive interface, and they never manage to reimplement the multicommunities/magazines that Kbin had.
better name than “threadiverse” (Imo, boardnet is a good one)
Feel free to open another topic about the name
Honestly I’m not the biggest fan of consolidation, and I’d like to try this solution before the other.
So we just let the .ml communities stay the main ones on those topics? https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/49181106/20133299
Also, didn't we consolidate !growthefediverse@slrpnk.net with !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com ?
Do you have any issues with programming.dev?
At this point, I would rather follow the single organic active poster on that topic as long as they post on an ok instance (which programming.dev is)
I'm a bit burnt out of trying to have alternatives to lemmy.ml communities. We've been trying for more than a year by now (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/21760805), and we didn't manage to get any of the alternatives communities to get even on par with the .ml one
When external projects or contributors post to Lemmy about their project, like Framasoft or Comaps, they do it on .ml communities
Either we all agree that the .ml communities stay the default ones on those topics, and that our attempt was a failure, or we agree to follow organic posters where they are.
From the previous comment (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/48474450/19929594)
Her mentioning "Also quokk.au" under the "Uhhhh lemmy.dbzer0.com is the pro-AI instance." makes it quite clear that it's an issue for her.
I reached out to her 27 days ago, she never replied to me, I guess that's not going to happen. Meanwhile, !privacy@lemmy.ml is still the default community by far because we can't decide on one alternative community that can work for all active posters
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=privacy&order=active_month
We can probably find a way to consolidate to one community to avoid comments separation
As I said in the OP, I would rather collaborate with the active poster on !privacy@programming.dev rather than compete on !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
There are only two active posters on dbzer0, @cm0002@lemmy.world and I, so the move would at least consolidate the three active poster on the topic in the same place
Yes, and !privacy@lemmy.world x)

Well, at least !privacyguides@lemmy.one shut down since then.
Thanks!
