Reddit was so American too, all the arguments and things seemed to be through their world view. The fediverse should allow much more diversity, and be a bit more multicultural

I imagine they are in damage control mode and are hoping to stem the outflow of users’ attention spans to the Lemmyverse while their current actions are the Current Thing.

I reckon they are budgeting for a 1-2 week martial law period to try and stabilise and will probably force open all the closed subs and make use of repost and chatGPT bots to simulate decent engagement, possibly even paying for comments too.

It would also be very interesting if they roll back on their censorship of open discussion of certain topics to attract back previously “resettled” users.

Yeah there needs to be a little more user intent “modelling” (probably no more than just a quick sense check really) on some of the design decisions.

I was thinking about suggesting a “watched instance” status that would contribute to a feed that sits between “all” and “subscribed”, so if I find an instance say mytown.org, then I can get a Watched feed like All but just every community for my town. This would differ from All which would allow federated communities such as arguments@farawaytown.net to appear in the feed.

Hey mate, is there a com for lemmy’s dev? I’m just wanting to see when new versions of Lemmy get released to look at the changelogs for my hoped-for features being implemented

Hey mate, any recos for Aussie instances?

It desperately needs lower friction remote community subscribing and a user migration workflow between instances.

Is the Boost dev aware of this?
