Stop using "All" "Hot/Active/Top" feeds and go search for actual content communities you want, by browsing the community lists, searching for your interests, or looking at new. Then just go to "Subscribed".

This is not a proper talk by meta that you could just "hear them out". They explicitly said off the record and confidential, there's no reason for that if it's something innocuous. There 100% would be an NDA involved.

The fediverse is all about being open, starting with an NDA is definitely not "zero risk", you can not slip up ever, or you're going to be destroyed by lawyers, this is the exact opposite of "zero risk".

Just wanted to say in general, federation is not instant. So if some user upvotes or comments on a post, it might be instantly there on the instance it was done on, but may take some time to get to all other instances.

That said, there definitely are likely also bugs still around. Part of what you're saying sounds like it. Can't help you with it though, needs to go to the devs/admins.

Äh, das Problem ist ja gerade erst entstanden durch installierte Updates. Zu sagen, dass das Problem nie gefixt wird, weil ja keiner Updates installiert, macht da einfach nicht mal logisch Sinn.

There should be no vote, it should just be decided between the lead devs. Users will follow and largely not care.

It's not really about the confusion, it's just unnecessary complexity. Magazines and communities for example are completely equal concepts, the only difference is the name for some reason, probably marketing or some such.

I don't think it's even close to the same. It's more like forum software everywhere calls a post a "post" and a reply a "reply" and not something else.

Both sites are link aggregators, both sites have sub groups that are meant for a specific topic that links can be posted to, this concept should have a name.

Yeah honestly I've seen so many posts with multiple paragraphs explaining federation, while I've just been telling my friends two sentences like "it's just like reddit but instead of one website there's multiple independent ones (called instances) that all see each other's content. All content on all those instances can and should only be accessed through the website you signed up on, and when you do that it works basically completely like reddit"

This leaves out a bunch of information of course, but if they want more, they can always be confused and ask or look it up themselves.

Wenn du da wirklich einen Vorteil siehst, dann würde mich interessieren, welchen.

Der Nachteil ist nämlich, dass wenn du bei ein paar großen und ein paar kleinen communities subscribed bist, du die kleinen einfach niemals im Feed sehen wirst, weil sie viel weniger upvotes haben. Manche communities, denen man subscribed ist, nie zu sehen, kommt mir wie ein dealbreaker-Nachteil vor, egal was es für Vorteile hat.

To be precise, they were talking about monthly active users in the post, not total user accounts, which you are talking about. Might be that their stats only count people who actually voted/commented/posted something.

Ah yes, /r/technology, the only technology subreddit on reddit. There certainly has never existed a https://www.reddit.com/r/technews/, or / https://www.reddit.com/r/technewstoday/ or a bunch of more technology subreddits. No. Of course there ever only was /r/technology. No fragmentation whatsoever on reddit.

Subscribe to both, whenever a post in one is made, copy it to the other to receive that sweet sweet karma
