  • I think from the technical point of view, it should be possible for users to merge multiple communities into one. I think the git software could be a great template for achieving this. The admins of each community would only be responsible for their instance of the community. The same merging could apply to comments.

    The big challenge however would be to automate this into a seemless experience for the user. If the goal is to attract more users, the user experience has to be on a tiktok level of simplicity.

    An additional problem, where I don’t have an answer yet is: What is supposed to happen if two communities start in the same way, but develop into different directions?

    Edit: Seeing the new comments: I like the social approach of admins coming together and collaborating in a single community even more. But it would still be nice, if a community could be hosted on multiple instances at once, for redundancy.





  • Somehow I was thinking of the red ribbon when I saw this post.

    I feel like an actual real world campaign could help spread awareness for the problems of company owned social media and the advantages of Lemmy/ Mastodon and the fediverse. Maybe a more broad approach also including something like open source or “fake news”/ propaganda / manipulation would be received more easily.

    I really could get behind such a campaign. We would have to make sure not to be confused with or piss off health related pins/ribbons.

    Is this an interesting thought? Something to pursue?
