Not wanting to start a rivalry or anything (really, choice is the great thing about the fediverse!) but while we're small wouldn't it be best to back [email protected] since it's much more established?
I dont see any reason not to have both haha
The possibility for multiple communities is definitely not a drawback especially as the platform grows, but for now it's good to have everyone aware of the communities that are out there.
I'm definitely staying subscribed to both (and the one on kbin as well).
Didn't realise one on kbin also. Cheers. I'm off to scout it now
Found it https://kbin.social/m/CasualUK find search full address for a kbin thread such a faff on
Yes, we should raise awareness of related communitues, support each other, cross post, and cross pollinate.
If one dies off, thats fine. The best case scenario 2ould be two thriving communities.
I think thats going to lead to a poor user experience. If you're subscribed to multiple, you're going to be getting a ton of duplicate posts.
Potentially, yeah. I guess we're all still trying to figure out how we want Lemmy to work. Probably a lot of people are loooking for a drop in replacement for Reddit and want it to work as close to that as possible.
Personally, I'm quite against centralisation, quite enjoying the smaller communities and slower pace, and love that we have a UK instance, with UK content by people from the UK, and I wish the other UK communities and users were all here with us. I'm not massive fan of how I feel American culture is eroding British culture, but thats a different essay 😂.
So cannibalising smaller communities and encouraging people towards the bigger ones on Lemmy.world isn't my ideal. If the price to pay is some people are double-posting content across both (or all 3 or 4 Casual UKs) for maximum upvotes or something, and I have to scroll past that, that's fine by me.
I concur 🙂
You would 😉
