For people wanting to discuss why some people focus on Lemmy’s growth, here is a recent thread from !asklemmy@lemmy.world :
I don’t know if it would help with load-balancing, but I feel hash tags would be better than communities.
This goes against the design of ActivityPub, which requires people to follow actors. A hashtag does not have a single name, so people would have to follow all servers and/or the servers would have to relay activities that are not originating from their actors. It is possible, clunky to implement.
Isn’t that just Mastodon and similar services? I prefer the community url scheme more that the hashtag scheme.
I agree that the hashtag scheme is bad. It attracts people that want to self-promote or bots.
