Thank you for the suggestion!
Seems promising, thanks!
I tagged this as “Movie review”, but not sure a few sentences really qualify for this.
Good to see you around
How is Lemmy respecting the idea of the Fediverse when more than 90% of the active communities are on one instance? https://piefed.zip/communities?search=&home_select=any&subscribe_select=any&topic_id=0&feed_id=0&language_id=0&instance=&sort_by=active_weekly+desc
How is Lemmy decentralized when more than 90% of the active communities are on one instance? https://piefed.zip/communities?search=&home_select=any&subscribe_select=any&topic_id=0&feed_id=0&language_id=0&instance=&sort_by=active_weekly+desc

No worries, your comment was still interesting. See you around!
Discovery of communities is a much bigger issue than which community someone happens to land on to look for activity. Once people get a sub list going they don’t have easy ways to know new communities are being created. Even if they browse All they might be sorting for popularity. If they use Local they never see stuff from other instances. If they look at an instance they won’t see content from defederated instances. They also won’t see the external content that nobody from that instance has subbed to.
Indeed. Piefed now pulls data from !newcommunities@lemmy.world to monitor new communities, and there are discussions to implement a way to ingest information from lemmyverse as well ( https://chat.piefed.social/#narrow/channel/4-developers/topic/Lemmyverse.20Community.20Discovery/near/4966 )
I’ve been posting a few communities to !newcommunities@lemmy.world in the last few days to make use of that feature.
The easiest would be an indicator that other federated communities with the same name exist that they could review and maybe click the join button.
This is already here in Piefed (right side of the screen, “Related Communities”):
As a side note, large instances are preferred by users who mostly view because the more people means more federation since communities on other instances only show if someone subs.
I am aware, but that should only be a concern for user concentration, not community concentration.
The default Piefed onboarding
I was always mentioning Piefed, which is a better option was new joiners for that onboarding experience (and other features).
I still wish for the default feed of a new user to be empty save for a few tags/categories they would need to click in order to see something in their All/local feed before they even subscribe to any community.
I just created an account today on Piefed.social, and that’s what the default feed is: empty.
That’s impressive!
