I did a search from shitjustworks for “reddit die” and did not find https://lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a “ping” sent out to notify all other federated instances.

And from what I know, if I post to !sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie only users on sh.itjust.works will see the posts until other people from other instances randomly come across it somehow and subscribe? This really needs to be improved.

    I don’t agree that they are solutions. The only proposed solutions are in the new github issue that someone created.

    did you just want to bitch and argue?

    I want lemmy to be better. I want it to be a viable alternative to reddit so people will leave that site.

      Most of us here do, but there is probably more benefit talking about Lemmy on Reddit that waiting for Lemmy to become perfect

        I do encourage people on reddit to come here, but as another reddit mod recently said on lemmy, they’re waiting for improvements on lemmy (like /r/toolbox, RES) before being able/willing to move over.

            Keyboard nav is not a RES feature I’ve ever used. Tagging is a main one. As is subscribing to threads to be notified of new comments.

              Hopefully those will come. Thread subscription would be nice indeed.

              In the meantime, Lemmy is still usable, and I guess once Reddit will kill old.reddit, RES will stop working anyway.

      i mean since you’re gonna be a twat about it, there’s an easy fucking solution: fork lemmy and adjust the federation to your liking.

      if you’re not willing to do that, or any of the other workarounds in this thread, you’re just bitching to bitch.

        Ah yes, very easy. Thanks for the suggestion.
