Seeing a big “politics” community in both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world just confuses me as to which I should be subscribing to and I don’t really want to subscribe to both.
Guess this is just a downside of federated instances? There’ll never just be one “/r/politics” on Lemmy?
I like it.
One big problem with Reddit was that subreddits became personal fiefdoms of the mods that have captured them. If the same happens here, we can simply move to the same community in another server.
Fragmentation is good.
This is exactly it.
One of the things I really hated on reddit was that r/futurology and r/energy got taken over by anti-nuclear activist mods who went so far as to pro-actively ban people who were active on r/nuclear, even if they never posted or commented on those subs.
This is simply not possible in the fediverse, since it will allow anyone to create a new energy or futurology community on a different server.
