Much like any true decentralized system, there can be as many star trek communities as there are trekkies. But this is not a technical problem, it's a social problem: when wanting to discuss, they will naturally converge towards the same space(s). If there are multiple, that's not a problem, just like it's not a problem to have multiple linux distributions. Each space will have its rules, its technical background. You can be part of both.
This situation can't be solved with technical tools, only with a human consensus. That's as good as it gets.
- graypegg 3y agoOh hey that’s EXACTLY what I was hoping for! A board of boards. Human consensus works pretty well for sorting a list like that. Thanks!
- moskie 3y agoWhat's the intended workflow, once I see a community I want to subscribe to? I've created an account on lemmy.world, but I see a community from lemmy.ml..... what do I do?
- Goronmon 3y agoSubscribe to the communities you want on lemmy.ml from your account on lemmy.world?
- moskie 3y agoOk, I've done that, but it involved switching away from my tab on lemmyverse.net, going to lemmy.world in a different tab, and manually searching for what I found on lemmyverse. Is there an intended workflow that involves clicking something on a result I see on lemmyverse.net? edit: i've just now noticed that I can click the label under the title to copy the text that I can then paste into lemmy.world search. There should be something like a chrome extension that captures lemmy links and redirects them to the lemmy instance that i have an account on.
- malermeister 3y agoI had the same idea re browser extension, just haven't found the motivation to build it yet.
- rakoo 3y agoThe problem is that you don't know if the link you're clicking on is a lemmy link or not. We are slowly approaching the limits of web browsing, where the document and the application are intertwined. We are limited by the tools at hand, unfortunately.
