For example, I’m on Lemmy.ml and I’ve joined !photography@lemmy.ml, !photography@lemmy.world, and !photography@kbin.social. In this example, it’s not very different from the number of similar groups on Flickr but, in comparison to Reddit, it seems like the decentralized platform can be a little unruly.
How are you going about joining different communities and managing your engagement? Are you only participating on the community on your instance? Are you joining and posting in as many instances that seem relevant?
I don’t even know man this shit is so confusing. I used to just comment and upvote when I saw shit I liked but now how will I know if the shit I liked came from one server or another. This is just madness we can’t keep treating people this way!
That’s the thing, you don’t have to care which server is comes from. You can just comment and upvote as usual.
But then how will I know which instance is the real one and not the impostor? What if I join an itailian instance, will I be the impasta?
If you have two friends called Tom, are they the same to you? You are rarely@sh.itjust.works, if a rarely@lemmy.world or rarely@lemmy.ml comes up, he will not be you
I’m sorry, but I think we’ve fallen victim to Poe’s Law here. Fret not, I understand the concept well, I was just cosplaying as someone who did not, laregly out of frustration for mankind’s dependency on centralized services.
