Now you made me curious. I've never read the manga. Cheers!

From what I understand – which can be wrong! – a couple of different things may cause this:

  • People don't know they should check whether a community already exists, before creating it.
  • People search to see if the community exists, but it doesn't appear in the search results of the instance/server they live in.
  • People see that a community already exists, but they aren't happy with it and create their own.

It's a bit confusing, and unfortunately it causes fragmentation.

Very valuable! In particular meanings 1 and 3a of particular. Thank you so much for your time and analysis!

Completely agree with you on your final comment. Indeed my question came from wondering whether people could attach attach other meanings, which I had not thought about, to those words.

Sorry, I still haven't understood how to give an address that works "on all Fediverse". Let me know how to do that if you know. Cheers!

You had me at "final" 😂

I thought it was finished a year ago...

I think it's just to avoid lawsuits. The list includes journals such as the Frontiers ones that I personally consider predatory, but others don't and would probably react even more if "potential" were omitted...

Personally I'm still quite confused on how Lemmy and Mastodon interact...

Probably bad terminology on my part, sorry. I believe that some DNS servers do block some sites, though, e.g. torrent sites or similar kinds.

😂 fun! I'd add a "Windows 13" logo when the Windows/Start button is pressed.

That's also true! Sometimes out of curiosity I might explore with "live cd"s rather than really reinstalling a distro.

Thank you for the correction. Don't trust me, though: check out the proofs and discussions in the references here, see for yourself :)
