Yes there are good arguments to be made for either option. You do you, it’s fine. All this only affects the url, you can change the title and description of a community any time… 95% of people will find the community through a UI that abstracts away the url anyway.

Naah I can’t be policing the naming of communities, really. Seems a bit micro-managing, when it’s somewhat of a grey area.
So while I agree with Blaze I’m not going to enforce anything about it.
IMO politics is generally pretty nationally-focused and most of the time the significance of each turn of the worm is only really obvious to people in that country. e.g. I’m pretty up with the play on all the anglosphere politics but am incompetent when it comes to south african or indian or slovakian politics and that’s fine by me. There is some globally-significant politics news but maybe not enough to sustain a community on it. So a collapse into US politics news is probably inevitable.
How about we have two politics communities, one for US and one for everything else? i.e. Keep the existing one and just change it’s description and make a second one.
Also as Blaze said there are other PieFed instances. I’m a fan of !world@quokk.au but feddit.online or piefed.zip are good homes too.

Yes, you’re right. I didn’t fully think through all the implications.

Federation, it’s magic.
But yeah, this means Lemmy comments would never be boosted or highlighted because it wouldn’t be federating the new data. Bit of a problem!

JavaScript. Attach a click handler event to the article link, save a cookie with the post id in it.

The proposed solution assumes a linear relationship between number of votes and number of comments. But depending on the post there might not be much to say. Especially with bad content.

Upvotes without reading do suck but comments without reading are worse. I’ve been considering adding a highlight/boost on comments where the author has clicked the link.

Avoid dependence on app stores so if an app is removed from Play Store it doesn’t matter as much.
Increase privacy - closed groups.
It needs to be possible to move an instance to another domain if an old one is blocked/revoked.

Yes, backend server.

You could run all 3 but it would be redundant as they all have the same content and people :D

The emoji usage, heading & bold text pattern makes me certain the article was written using AI.
- Comment on YSK Lemvotes.org will show you votes on any post, comment, or by user, or anything on the fediverse 1 week ago:
Yes.
gregtech.eu is the instance.
piefed.social has defederated from it so any community on piefed.social will not be broadcasting votes cast within it to lemvotes.

Yep.
With that limitation and with most of the community moves in the foreseeable future will being from Lemmy to PieFed, not PieFed to PieFed, it's not really a high priority.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
As a PieFed user, soon you don't need to - piefed instances will automatically subscribe to every community in newcommunities@lemmy.world so the local communities-finder will always have everything you ever need.
