Well, you never know where people are, so it’s safe to warn a 300 millions country

Interesting, Snapdragon or Exynos?

The issue is that currently the 1-2 years used flagships have a lot of issues

• Samsung S21 and S22 have bad batteries, not even talking about Exynos if OP is based in the EU
• Pixel 6 and 7 have bad connectivity and also some battery issues
• OnePlus aren’t what they used to be

That reduces quite a lot what should be the main source of used flagships

I just had an issue that might be interesting in your case. You can read it up on !newcommunities@lemmy.world, but long story short, the mod of a community wasn’t happy with the way I wanted to bring some meta discussion into the community.

The main difference in this kind of situation between Lemmy and Reddit is that

• the modlog (https://lemm.ee/modlog/408863) is public, allowing everyone to see what the mod did
• it’s very easy to open another community, explain what went wrong with the other one, and keep things going.

I’m the opposite, I work from home most of the time, so it’s good so see people once in a while :)

Matter of fact, I’m gonna have a charcuterie board for breakfast!

Enjoy!

But wouldn’t it be great if the knitting community (for example) on beehaw.org, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world and feddit.de would be merged for me into one entity for a better browsing experience?

Why wouldn’t they merge on one instance? Seems easier, and can be done today compared to having to ask the developers to implement a complex feature.

Thanks for your comments!

I am being held hostage against my will by a 6 year old and a 2 year old. Help

Hopefully at some point in the future they’ll get more independent? I’m not a parent yet, I guess parents of other child can chime in

!casualconversation@lemmy.world

Lots of angry comments in the post announcing Sublinks in this community, mostly criticizing Java choice

Well done!

I’m curious too, depending on the instance, users can general escalate to admins, and then leave the instance if necessary.

Yes, that’s what I meant by security risk, that’s like a DoS feature.

And on Lemmy some instances duplicate everything. For example beehaw

Are they not allowed to?

Beehaw exists for people who wanted a heavily-moderated space, and they seem to be doing well activity-wise. Do you want to force them with the rest of the instances?

There might need to be a revamp of the logo to make it a bit more appealing.

What I could definitely see happening would be instance-based merch, especially if the community feeling is strong.

Very interesting, thank you for this

This was only possible because the scale of users on a community is very low (<5000). Bigger communities have inertia effect in play.

40k of us literally left Reddit to come here due to malevolent actions from Reddit.

Migration is different from being able to view all posts of same topic community in a meta form.

Do all people interested in gaming see the discussions happening at hexbear and beehaw on those topics? The meta form seems to deny that there is a reasons why different communities exist on the same topic.

I always like there are basically two types of topics (because after all, communities are focused on a topic)

• either you have enough of a userbase to have your own flavour on the topic, for instance all the gaming communities that exist on different instances, which all co-exist next to each other, and it wouldn’t really make sense to merge them all
• or you don’t have enough people, and in this case you should just agree on one instance where to host the community and be done with it

I know there is the political aspect to take into account, but for me that comes back to the first point: if enough people of the same political side want to talk about something between them, that’s good. If not, they might have to put that aside and go for the second option.

All that said, I think a lot of communities probably should be looking at negotiating a merge.

Strong agree

Don’t want to be ostracized because your user is registered on the wrong politic instance ? Join biggest instance instead.

There are plenty of politically neutral instance. Most of them are, actually, the only ones that come to mind as politically oriented are hexbear, lemmygrad and to an extend, lemmy.ml.

That leaves lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, all the feddit.country, discuss.tchncs.de, sopuli.xyz, reddthat.com, lemmy.zip as neutral alternatives
