Why do I get different results when searching for communities on two different instances?
(lemmy.ml)
This is what I mean...Left is tchncs.de, right is Lemmy.ml
Edit: Also, trying to access those communities that don't appear in the search result for specific instance, gives this message
404: couldnt_find_community
As long as it is like that, i would agree. But i fear there might be competing communities that are mostly similar. Might be that through Darwinian selection at one point the fittest community survives but until then it might get confusing.
yeah I'll be interested to see how it all plays out starting on the 12th, and especially after July 1st
we will likely see multiple communities vying to be 'top dog' in their respective specialties
as far as I can tell this really isn't a problem for other federated software like Mastodon because people just use hashtags over there instead of defined communities with rules like reddit/lemmy where people 'join' and generally hang out
either way I'm excited to see what happens
