Misinformation about lemmy flooding the community (possibly reddit trying to prevent people from leaving)
old.reddit.com
I think there's a team of people intentionally spreading lemmy misinformation. I think reddit is trying to get people not to switch from this...

Please check my post, I think everything I said is very valid, but I want this community to see it too, and help steer the discussion, I think reddit is doing this intentionally.

    @communist people say federation is an issue when you get multiple communities on the same topic. There is the “technology” community on beehaw, there is also the “technology” community on lemmy.ml, then there are countless communities named the same on other servers as well. But I do not think federation is an issue. I know of at least one site that has the same issue with multiple communities with the same name. And it is centralized. And it has no issue with that.

    It’s name is facebook.com

      This is not an issue with federation, centralized services like reddit have the exact same problem, it’s just a problem with anything that lets anyone build a community, really.

        I’ve been using lemmy for all of like, an hour, but discovering communities is kind of a pain. Wish there was an instance/community browser inside my instance instead of going to a third party site, searching, opening, copy, and then pasting, then subscribing.

        I really see no reason why https://browse.feddit.de/ is not integrated into the site.

        @communist basically yes. And that would only be aleviated if only admins of a website would be allowed to create them. Which is a kind of hyper centralization not something many people would be fans of.
