Say what you will about reddit, at least an established subreddit was the place to gather on the topic, ie r/technology etc.

With Lemmy, doesn’t it follow that similar communities on different instances will simply dilute the userbase, for example !technology@lemmy.ml and !technology@beehaw.org. How do we best use lemmy as a (small c) community when a topic can be split amongst many (large C) Communities?

This is an earnest question, in no way am I suggesting lemmy is inferior to reddit. I’m quite enjoying myself here.

    Maybe that’s a good idea. Going to /C/technology shows a view of all /c/technology sub’s that the instance is aware of :)

    Posting to /C/technology would just post to your instances /c/technology

    Or maybe differentiate between communities and topics? /t/technology aggregates all the communities around technology? That would be cool IMO
