NeoDB looks very promising. Any example of how it integrates with Lemmy?

Mbin is probably the way to go at the moment

Hello @neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone,

I wanted to ask you a question about this community: is it still about video games as well? I had a look at the latest posts, and most of them seem to be around movies and shows (which is fine), so I was curious.

I don’t really see the link with the card game, but the idea has potential

Oh, I see.

Still technically cumbersome. One of the main Lemmy dev recommends merging similar communities

there will be lots of duplicate posts and comments, which increases server load and confuses users. Better to merge the communities in the first place.

But then you would have groups with completely opposite point of views clashing, which is a reason why they are in different communities in the first place.

Let’s take a famous example. An article about a new type of electric vehicles. !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net would probably be interested in interesting the technicalities of the new type, while !fuckcars@lemmy.world would probably focus on how cars, even if electric, should still be limited.

People would get quite aggressive against each other, and mods would have an issue moderating the whole discussion, because a mod on the electrichevehicles community wouldn’t be able to moderate comments from the people from the !fuckcars community and vice-versa.

Communities are usually split for a good reason, and that makes sense.

When separate communities exist but share the same stance and rules on one topic, that’s where discussion that should happen in one place gets fragmented. !movies@lemmy.world and !movies@lemm.ee have no reason to be split. The lemm.ee version is more active, have more proactive mods, but the LW has a broader audience due to the LW position in Lemmy. So some people keep posting on the LW version, keeping a weird situation where both situations are active at the same time.

Multireddit would still show the duplicate posts twice, and people would have to choose which version they want to comment to.

Fragmentation issue would still be there.

First time I hear about those, very stylish!

Small reminder from the OP 😄

please only promote communities that have been at least one post in the last 7 days. And if there is none, feel free to post there and then promote it here!

I have been procrastinating getting new shirts / t-shirts, I should really get that done, but there are always better things to do

Cool, thanks for sharing!

Oh crap, didn’t notice that. Did you try to reach out to the admin?

As I said, the difference here is that mods and admins have limited power.

There is some power tripping, but thanks to the public modlog, they get called out, and users move to other communities. Takes a while, but better than Reddit

Well put

It seems https://libretechni.ca broke. As a result, everything was lost, including !selfhosted@libretechni.ca

It seems to be back. Is there a second admin there? Would you prefer to move the community to an instance with a more transparent administration?

Indeed, as I said, for your content, people need to read a long text, it takes them time

A bit frustrated about !movies@lemmy.world fragmenting the conversation from !movies@lemm.ee

Seems to be a !android@lemmy.world and !android@lemdro.id situation where both communities stay active without any way to consolidate

Happy with the weekly thread on !newcommunities@lemmy.world, especially as that community is in the highlight on Lemmy.world. Hopefully that will give niche communities more visibility

First of all, thanks for your community!

Second, I think due to the nature of your community, it takes people time to actually read the articles and have comments to post.

Probably why it’s harder for your community to get comments than a meme community

Thanks for sharing, the last post I see is from 9 days ago, is this correct?
