For those who were skeptics about the fediverse: what made you change your mind? - eviltoast

Does it still seem difficult to understand, use, etc? did you come across anything positive?

    That’s what makes it better than reddit. It can’t so easily be controlled by just a few people, because if one community/magazine on one instance gets overrun with toxicity, you can start a mag/comm with the same name on another instance.

    absolutely, I am not against this kind of decentralization.

    What I meant is that something could be done to collect the communities posts under one collection to make it easier for the user to join/see the communities content.

    For example, if you subscribe to c/Technology you are subscribed to all the c/Technology communities (optional) in the federation. But this brings with it the problem of duplicates and I don’t think there is an easy way to avoid it, and obviously different communities may have different rules.

    Put simply: being able to subscribe to collections.

    I say this because it seemed to me, at least initially, that for new users this presence of multiple communities with the same name was annoying and confusing.
