MODERATORS
Because I'm not a meteorologist and have never incidentally happened to do a deep dive on obscure or rare meteorological phenomena. As I'm sure at least someone here has done.
This is the Lemmy problem on display. We complain about Reddit, but it's popularity is why we have some expert chiming in everywhere. And we all love the tiny community on Lemmy, but we apparently are missing a cloudologist, or maybe just not one in the right time zone.
That's the network effect in a nutshell.
I think mirroring some reddit communities here might attract some of those subject matter experts. The threadiverse is great, but we're missing a lot of niche communities, so it's not ideal for people with very particular special interests or career fields.
An instance with a bunch of clones of various niche subreddits, each with a repost bot to stock the most relevant content, could go a long way to making this a more viable alternative for those types of people
Seems like a missed opportunity on your part.
Life is full of missed opportunities if you want to think about it that way. Every moment is an expanding tree of an infinite number of missed opportunities.
I prefer not to think about it that way. I used to, and it tore me apart and rendered me incapable of ever focusing on any one thing, never able to enjoy anything, never able to relax. It was killing me slowly.
Every moment is a choice. There's a thousand things you can do, but you can only do one of them. No matter what you choose, there's 999 other things that become "missed opportunities".
On the other hand, every moment I choose not to spend doing one thing, is a moment I get to choose to spend doing something else.
