That's true. I guess I like the idea of being able to distribute a community across servers, but it may be more trouble than it's worth to implement.
I personally don't think this is a huge issue, but it is an issue. I usually pick the biggest community on a topic, or if there are multiple that are fairly active, subscribe to both/all. The only real complaint I have about it is that users will often make the same post to both communities, so I see duplicate posts on my timeline and the discussion is split in half.
I do think it would be nice if there was a way for community mods to choose to combine two communities across instances, in a way that they would appear as a single community to users. I don't know how that would be implemented though.
So bread is toast I guess.
It's pronounced like the g in high.
It's a shame this is being downvoted, because I think these are interesting topics to discuss. A while back I found this article which talks about similar ideas; it's is from a few years ago but I think makes points that are still valid. It talks about how there is a lot of ambiguity in ActivityPub, and there aren't really standardized ways for different implementations to interact - a lot of it is ad hoc, and as you pointed out, doesn't always work well, or may work better in one direction than the other. Hopefully it will become more standardized in the future and remove some of the ambiguity.
I hope this one works better! I signed up at tchncs when I started Lemmy, and it seems like I chose well :)
I suspect the data artifact is related to the transition from 0.18 to 0.19 and something changed in the way active users was counted in between.
My understanding is they started counting votes as activity.
The difference between the peak and the plateau is higher on lemmy.world and lemmy.ml -- I suspect this is because they were more popular places to sign up during the protest.
Makes sense that people who care enough to look into smaller instances would be more committed.
"X pilled" = a believer in X; i.e. they've taken the red pill with regard to X and see that it is true/good.
