I did a search from shitjustworks for "reddit die" and did not find https://lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a "ping" sent out to notify all other federated instances.

And from what I know, if I post to !sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie only users on sh.itjust.works will see the posts until other people from other instances randomly come across it somehow and subscribe? This really needs to be improved.

I'm not even subscribed to that, and even if I was, and it was a default subscription for every new lemmy.world user, I don't think it's a good replacement for a functional search or an all that includes all posts from federated instances. I see lots of posts on all-hot with 0-5 upvotes so it seems fine if it actually showed all communities on federated instances (which it doesn't).

Folks have given you a half dozen solutions here and your answer is consistently dismissive.

Did you want your problem solved or did you just want to bitch and argue?

[–] Anon518@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago (7 children)

I don't agree that they are solutions. The only proposed solutions are in the new github issue that someone created.

did you just want to bitch and argue?

I want lemmy to be better. I want it to be a viable alternative to reddit so people will leave that site.

Most of us here do, but there is probably more benefit talking about Lemmy on Reddit that waiting for Lemmy to become perfect

I do encourage people on reddit to come here, but as another reddit mod recently said on lemmy, they're waiting for improvements on lemmy (like /r/toolbox, RES) before being able/willing to move over.

RES is here, at least for keyboard navigation

Keyboard nav is not a RES feature I've ever used. Tagging is a main one. As is subscribing to threads to be notified of new comments.

[–] Blaze@discuss.online 1 points 10 months ago

Hopefully those will come. Thread subscription would be nice indeed.

In the meantime, Lemmy is still usable, and I guess once Reddit will kill old.reddit, RES will stop working anyway.
