Comment on Pluralistic: The online community trilemma
fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 2 days agoWe need a mature multireddit like function, and for similar communities across instances to be pre-merged. A function to display comments on the same post cross posted or parallel posted on one page would be useful too. That would help with fragmentation while allowing communities to be independent underneath
The potential for abuse or culture clash comes when these disparate (yet related) communities are combined.
From a user perspective it may make sense to expose "related discussions" that you can browse to. Keeping the discussions separate yet linked could be a workable compromise.
Yeah, this would be good in my mind. I don’t even care if it’s just the communities my instance is federated with only; I would imagine I land with an instance that shares my values, so their federation I’d be OK with (hypothetically). I just don’t want to feel like I’m missing out by being somewhere else and not knowing/being aware of a portion of the community. I want the discussion just as much as I want the information presented.
Piefed has a multireddit like function in personal and public feeds. It helps a lot with similar communities.
