- Comment on Instance Protectionism in the Threadiverse happens because of the Prisoner’s Dilemma (protecting one's own instance is currently more sensible than increasing overall discussion quality) 11 months ago:
Some Lemmy servers on the threadiverse seem to have a theme (and are not general generic servers).
For example, programming.dev focuses on (computer) programming and other highly technical topics related to (computer) programming.
I think for a themed server, they would probably want to pick and choose which communities from other Lemmy (or Kbin) servers they syndicate to their home-page or wherever (in addition to their local communities).
I do think syndicating communities from other servers is beneficial — but I don’t think just all or nothing is a good approach.
I think Lemmy should let Lemmy sysops pick and choose which remote communities they syndicate on their home-feed or wherever.
