Yeah, I know that, but on Reddit you could go to /r/Firefox and be almost guaranteed that that was the main place that people interested in Firefox would congregate. If you started scrolling, you'd see pretty much everything that anyone posted. For bigger subs there generally was one place to go to find that content.
While here, I could be on .world and see some stuff, but then I'd have to go to .ml or some other instance to see other stuff. Then you've got almost duplicate posts on different instances.
It's just kind of messy. You can't be on .world Firefox community and also see posts from the many other Firefox communities on the other instances, at least if you can I don't know how you do it.
Sure, you can view all and see everything from everywhere, but that's literally everything from everywhere, not just Firefox related stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I like it here, and it's good to have a potential viable alternative to Reddit. I'm just not sure how it's going to catch on with Joe Public unless there is a way to tie the same/similar communities from different instances into the one view while still keeping them separate.
Major software foundations like Mozilla, and other large institutions, should be hosting their own instance and have official communities. Even on silos like Reddit, you'd have several alternate subs for the same topic. Before multis were a thing, it was in the same boat.
I would like to see instance features like "see this story in x other communities" links for reposted link posts though.
This would be awesome. I followed nws on Twitter for my local area and wish they would migrate elsewhere, esp now that you have to log in. I follow via rss now but am not sure if or when that will be taken away.
I see what you're saying, yeah you have to subscribe to the different instances of it which isn't very intuitive if you don't know you need to do that.
I think some of the app developers are working on solutions or multi subscribe though for communities.
It would be nice if there was a way to group communities across instances so you can view them all at the same time. I would love to create an "Android" group that has all the different Android, Google and Google Pixel communities on one page.
If you find such a thing, mind replying here? I want the exact same thing.
