But do they give wah?

In specific for this, yes. But also in general

Is using a fork of something really an actual solution? It’s still enabling the dominance of the original corporation.

I dunno, maybe it is, but it sure doesn’t seem like it to me

WHAT?!

It’s not the size of the box that matters, it’s how you use it!

At least, that’s what my mom told me

Me? Order an obvious fake of an overpriced knife so that I can decide if I like the design in person? Nah, never!

That’s not malicious compliance, that’s a possible form of protest

Now, take out the bullshit that’s tracking you and sending the information back to them to sell, and we’ll be doing something great

No, it’s been coming

Subscribe to all of them. It won’t be a problem.

It’s like if you followed #s of the same thing on Instagram, twitter, mastodon, bluesky, and whatever the equivalent of # is on Facebook, then a reddit sub with the same name. Different populations and user bases, but that’s a good thing.

There’s some degree of consolidation that happens, particularly when one community is on a bigger instance and would be better served by being hosted elsewhere. But there’s not really any barriers to using multiple. If you crosspost, you have better chances of it being seen anyway, and you’ll get access to any responses. If you’re wanting to comment, then the OP that crossposted is going to get your response no matter which ones it’s in.

Only drawback is that your comment in one won’t show in the others unless you copy/paste it. Which is perfectly valid if you want to, but most people would see your comment eventually anyway, so the conversation will still happen if it would have in the first place.

I kinda had issues adapting to it myself, but now I tend to prefer it when communities are spread out, because every instance has its own vibe usually. So you get different kinds of discussions than you would if there was only one community on one instance.

Some subjects end up needing a single community just to make it easier to find, but it’s pretty rare imo.

No, no it isn’t. If you aren’t just being a snarky bastard and want the difference explained, ask.

Well it is a little different because it won’t include instances your instance is defederated from.

But what you’re wanting is essentially why subscriptions are there

That being said, an instance curated feed alongside the all feed and local would be a cool option.

Using your example, literature.cafe having an admin selected feed of communities relating to writing would be awesome.

But, there aren’t actually many instances where that would be useful, since there aren’t that many focused on specific subjects.

The all feed is there for everything federated, and that doesn’t need to change. It’s a big part of how and why the fediverse is so cool. So fucking with it is a bad idea. Adding in options is nice, but the lemmy development has a roadmap that’s pretty focused on functionality and stability, so don’t expect this kind of addition soon

Kill it with (gun) fire!

That’s some silliness right there.

Using lemm.ee is using lemmy because lemm.ee is lemmy software being hosted on their hardware, and the activitypub that’s part of lemmy connects everything.

If you’re going to try to be pedantic, be right

I could hear that voice in my head

Okay, that’s fucking hilarious

Has anyone followed the links to see what the deal is?

She is, indeed, a blivet

Ooo, sick burn

Like he’s ever given a fuck about any religion other than whatever cult of personality he can scrounge up

Yeah, this is definitely a good option. Thanks :)
