Top-level
@falcon @gracjan @fishcharlie @nf3xn To be fair, there are 50+ general anime subreddits and an ungodly number of specific show/theme subs. A lot of users, myself included, really don’t like the megasubs because comments and threads tend to get lost in the sauce. Smaller subs thrive because the communication is more consistent and digestible. Im aware I probably don’t speak for *most* users, but certainly a sizeable number of them 10 comments
@falcon @gracjan @fishcharlie @nf3xn I’d poke around a bit more then. Most default subs are “entry level” where 99% of people lurk. Quality discussion and an actual feeling of community develop outside of the default subs. The reason for so many subs about the same subject tend to stem from rule differences, mod interactions, and other meta schisms. I think this is healthy and leads to better community/discussion for active users @PuffPuffPeace @gracjan @fishcharlie @nf3xn > Most default subs are “entry level” where 99% of people lurk. So... you are agreeing with me and proving my point that centralization is how 99% of the people use Reddit today, meaning de-centralization is not an actual replacement to it, but instead a different thing? @PuffPuffPeace @gracjan @fishcharlie @nf3xn again... I'm not debating which is better or worse, or what's your personal preference. But either you are not actually reading what I'm saying, or you are just agreeing with me in a roundabout way @PuffPuffPeace @gracjan @fishcharlie @nf3xn also, going with you example of multiple anime subs. If I search for something on Reddit, I'm going to find all posts/comments that mention that (unless I'm blocked, of course). With federation, there's a good chance I won't. That I already mentioned in another point above, that I still need to use my mastodon social account to search from time to time, because it has way more results @falcon @gracjan @fishcharlie @nf3xn Where we diverge is on the need for one main hub per topic. But that is subjective. As to the needing to search via mastodon, this would be a great opportunity for an Apollo-like tool that could connect the dots. @christianselig any plans like this? @PuffPuffPeace @gracjan @fishcharlie @nf3xn @christianselig > Where we diverge is on the need for one main hub per topic. But that is subjective. I give up, you seem to be just refusing to read. If there's a "need" or not, doesn't matter. It's how Reddit currently operates, which makes Lemmy different, so it's not a replacement @falcon @gracjan @fishcharlie @nf3xn @christianselig Replacement ≠ Alternative People who are done with Reddit to the point of trying another service probably don’t just want another Reddit. Do I personally think Lemmy is “the one” that could do it? Probably not. But do I think if a good enough app came out that collected centralized everything client-side a lot of those issues would be moot and it’s a possibility. @PuffPuffPeace @gracjan @fishcharlie @nf3xn > A lot of users, myself included, really don’t like the megasubs because comments and threads tend to get lost in the sauce. Smaller subs thrive because the communication is more consistent and digestible. Which is fine, then you want something different, and it's ok. My point still stands that de-centralization is not a replacement for Reddit, because it's inherently different. You don't end up with a centralized sub @PuffPuffPeace @gracjan @fishcharlie @nf3xn Lemmy would be more like a replacement - with a different UX - to forums, where each instance is a different forum, but one user account is capable of posting on multiple forums |

But only 1 'main' one, AFAIK, which is /r/anime
> an ungodly number of specific show/theme subs.
AFAIK, most shows only have 1 sub, or at least 1 'main' sub, so my point still stands.
