Kbin cross posting?
Kbin cross posting?
Does kbin support cross posting? In lemmy if there is a post that I like I can "cross post" to another relevant community. Is that a thing here?
You're viewing a single thread.
The fedvers needs an algorithm to automatic merge communities when the same thing us shared to more than one.
Easy go say, but many complex details have to be right or it will be annoying not helpful.
I completely disagree with this.
I've frequently seen 3-4 'equivalent' posts in different instance's implementations of 'technology' (for instance) and the focus of the comments can be completely different. One on an infosec instance will have a completely different perspective than one on a Star Trek instance vs one on a completely generic instance, which leads to some interesting conversations that might get drowned out if everything were mixed together.
For me, I find this to be a large win and if it means I have to open 3-4 different threads, so be it.
That is what makes it hard. I often see the post in different communities with essentially the same discussion. That needs to be merged. However as you say it can also be in a different community with a different focus that shouldn't be.
Blah, we're screwed either way.
Either you get fragmented theads where true conversation is stifled just by there not being enough people to talk to or you get too many people and the little niche conversations get drowned out and/or never happen.
