Issue should be fixed, messed around with the db a bit and seems to work now

added you to a spot around there since you didnt give exact coords. Let me know if you want to be moved on here

It was put into place mostly due to that since a bunch of those communities were made with no limitations. We can look into changing if it seems to be limiting the creation of some communities but so far has just been limiting mostly topic hyperspecific communities so that the more general communities get used before splitting off into subcommunities

I recently pushed out an update that shows a preview instead of just sending them to it (with a button where someone can get a new instance for the category). I updated the post to reflect that now

Similar ish to what you said but I've been keeping it at 1 instance shown at a time to stop choice paralysis (but they can see other ones in the category now by getting a new 1 instance)

lemmyf isnt currently listed since its one of the instances that I had no idea existed. Would be under nsfw though

In the settings all languages are allowed due to issues with language federation from mastodon and kbin. Its up to the mods what languages they allow. (Majority will be English but allows for some communities that are two if theres some technology where official info is given in another language or for things like c/programming but in another language (naturally hidden from people who don't have that set as their language))

I deleted that german post since its just a stream ad

This was a cross post rather than a direct post to the community so it acts the same as if its posted on two different communities here like a lemmy cross post (with different threads based on the community the post is on)

If someone on mastodon commented on this version of the thread their comment would show up here

Yeah that would fit the community pattern better. Can make that the url and then change the display name around

Lemmy.world view

Programming.dev view

I can mod a lemmy.world account and see if I can fix it from that

Its already deleted, may take a bit to federate to your instance

Ive removed this comment due to being unrelated to the actual topic of the post which is the new lemmy frontend. Reminder to keep talks here about rust rather than politics. Theres a ton of other communities for that and the lemmy dev politics have already been discussed heavily

true moving posts could be something that could be done if lemmy is set to deal with that. I can check to see how difficult that would be to put into lemmy and possibly push a patch out.

If we get that functionality in we can do another poll to determine whether it should switch to that but for now im just polling these options since I assume it wont be a thing for a bit (I tried to push another patch out to the site to make the request community more prominent but it seemed to be having issues with certain aspects of the changes so that needs to be fixed before we can get some updates out)
