This post is about Lemmy however.

Holy crap am I glad someone piped up.

You know how much I don't care about Toyota when I'm talking about Hyundai? You know much I really don't care about piefed's features when this is not about piefed?

Thank you.

I agree. And while it is amazing the features that rimu has added to piefed, I personally really like Sopuli, and its admin team. I do have a piefed account, and I use it. But Sopuli, and thereby lemmy, is my main instance.

you can't get a Toyota on top of your Huyndai in 5 minutes, you can create a Piefed account and import your Lemmy settings in 5 minutes
a lot of people aren't aware about Piefed, and how compatible it is with Lemmy

yea, but if Lemmy never adds a feature you really want, maybe we just switch to PieFed lol

the Lemmy devs are very much against merged comments

and they haven't even seemed to notice this thread yet (Rimu did though!) and just closed a ton of issues as "won't fix", meanwhile Rimu responded in a similar thread for PieFed within 2 hours of it being posted https://piefed.social/comment/7335468

although Lemmy does show crossposts already and v1.0 will have multi-communities

No? It was said it shouldn't be done in the backend, a frontend or an alternative client can still do PieFed style comment listing.

For good reason perhaps? It merges distinct communities together, making communities less distinct. Different communities can have different moderation and participation standards and norms. Merging them I feel is a bad idea.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At the moment we have a few famous examples of similar communities coexisting

All of those communities have similar rules, there's nothing distinguishing them (!privacy@lemmy.ml for instance is different) except that mods never bothered to agree on a single place

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 1 points 1 day ago

I don't think this is a problem. If the communities are similar enough, one will eventually win and be the bigger and main one. If they are different enough, they can continue coexisting.

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

merging them completely is bad yes, but the way PieFed does it is nice, they have separate headers for the comments from each community

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I personally still feel like this brings the communities too close.

I could see it causing clashes for very specific communities, maybe those could be manually disabled cause I can only think of very few

or the comments could be grouped by multicommunities
