For the unaware, is a alternative to platforms such as Reddit and Tildes. I've been using Lemmy as one of my main social platforms for the past 6 months...

    Hm, I can’t recall encountering that yet, but I can see how that would be a harder one to decide. I suppose I might cycle between them.

      [email protected] and [email protected] comes to mind

        I think it’s fair to choose the smaller instance then, in the interest of diversification.

          Indeed, but as long as other people still prefer the LW version both communities will continue to splinter the conversations

        I try to avoid posting to .world if there’s a viable alternative, personally, so I’d opt for lemdro.id consistantly. I do the same with the videos communities, where I’ve been trying to boost [email protected] instead of posting to videos at .world.

        But if it wasn’t .world, the situation wouldn’t be ideal, and I’d support combining the communities if the mods were down for it.

          I’ve raised the issue to the LW mods a few months ago, they told me they were not interested in merging. The active mods being on the LW staff, it make sense.

            That’s unfortunate :(
