Yeah I definitely think it could work if it’s done the right way There are some much needed functionalities that Lemmy has yet to offer that will make it easier to stand up instances like this (easier customization, better cross-posting, better admin/mod tools, and clearer documentation). But the idea is great and it could work with some patience and hard work across various different players in the lemmy game.

Great idea! Will be checking it out soon. A few communities I am moderating on lemmy.world are:

• NY Giants
• New England Revs
• XFL
• North Carolina FC

Would be interested to see how crossover might work between instances.

Yeah, dang - thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it.

If I could add you myself I would. I’ll check back in a couple days to remind you. Every vote for seltzer counts.

I think from a business perspective a third-party app is still competition only in the sense that they are pulling away “numbers” from their own app, views, analytics, marketers. Even if they aren’t direct competition it’s something that they are competing against in a different sense. But your point is still correct - these apps are participating and aiding in a beneficial way even if it can’t be quantified by their financial / marketing / product departments.

If they are so pro-capitalist then why are they not OK with competition then?
