Ah, a worthy reason to dust off the ol account

One issue is that by keeping both communities active you’re not encouraging people to move to all converge on one. Posts can be duplicated but discussions won’t

True, but I don’t have any good answers for that either, because then any instance is at risk of becoming the “next LW” and we’d just be right back at square 1

The Fediverse also isn’t all interconnected so someone on instance A that’s defed’d from instance C but not instance B wouldn’t be able to see content on C (as we all know). But if “multi-posting” was a thing then someone else fed’d with B and C posting the same content to “duplicate” comms on each ensures everyone gets to see it even if the discussions are split

I’m sorry to inform you, but feddit.de has been down for around 6 months: http://feddit.de/

You are basically posting to a LW only version of that community, nobody else is seeing it. The replacement is !boardgames@sopuli.xyz which is more active than the LW version.

Ah that explains everything lol good thing I also posted to the sopuli version, it’d be nice if there was a warning banner that said you’re viewing a local/cached version and upstream is offline or something lol

Interesting, for me an additional consideration is to decentralize from LW as well, which is why I favor !linux@programming.dev

Yea, my process does need refinement especially in regards to the Linux comm specifically since @programming.dev is within striking distance of LW as well and centralization of LW is starting to become of increasing concern to me after the events of 196 the past few days.

But that’s also why I was hoping for a multi-post app of some sort, it would be loads easier IMO to “community balance” content like that

Board games, here you’d think the feddit.de would be good with 2K subscribers, but it hasn’t been active for months and also the .de makes me think they may or may not enjoy “English content” so that leaves yet another .world comm at just shy of 1k and a smattering of smaller instances/comms

While we are talking, I noticed you preferred !linux@lemmy.world vs !linux@programming.dev, any reason why?

Linux is on my list of monitored .ml comms so my decision to funnel Linux content is given more weight based on which one I consider to have the best chance of “dethroning” the relevant .ml version. Same thing with !linux_gaming@lemmy.world vs .ml’s linux_gaming

Yea but at least we don’t have GeNOCiDe JoE and that damn BlUemAgA in power!!!/S

I think on the bigger instances there’s decent consolidation, but there are still lots of small communities on small instances where there’s no “clear winner” for me to choose from and rather slow so for those I think cross posting between them is ideal

Literally any other one, Nov 2024 was the final boss and it was fumbled. All signs were pointing towards MAGA imploding had Trump lost in November, now instead they’re more emboldened than ever. Good job with your ‘both sides’ bullshit, you got what you wanted.

Oh yea because the last election cycle was the perfect time to “teach them dems a lesson at the polls” huh, oh yea they’re really feeling it aren’t they? Definitely isn’t one of those “punishments” that ends up punishing the punisher more than the punishee…

RIP Johnny Hardwick :'(

Lemmys gaslighting me I swear lmao

As-is, no, but an app with a slick dumbed down interface that all we nerds already here despise and equally slick on-boarding flow that hides all the “technical” details could

Caution, this only works reliably with parents with younger kids, the older their youngest the less this works lol

And do not park in or near the driveway, you will get blocked in then you’ll have to spend half an hour (at best) finding random people and having them move their car so you can leave

Yea! We just had to teach bLueMagA a lesson at the polls this particular election cycle

Aw shit, that’s what I was forgetting lol

but it did federate with lemmy.ml

How unfortunate

I’m like 99% sure that “Violence is never the answer” is just yet ever more rich fuck propaganda.

Ditto for Boost apparently

Lol I’m already there, I’ve got a whole spectrum of spatula’s!

I’ve got my pancake one, my universal/favorite one and my “spatula of last resort” lmao

Yea, this meme was inspired by Action Retro’s YT video from yesterday lol
