I’m a fairly new users, but I feel that navigating around the fediverse is a bit cumbersome, maybe the wrong word for it. But there is a lack of overview in a way. I enjoy being on this server, but I also like to follow other communities. Lots of different topics, everything from cars to Linux to architecture.
Right now there are 10 (that I could find on browse.feddit.de) instances named Linux on different server. So the small number of Linux users using some fediverse instance is spread around over many servers. Coming from reddit, things were far from perfect over there, but there is only r/Linux. It’s a shame users are spread so thin all over the place.
I used Linux as an example, I’ve seen the same “problem” for other topics as well. Anyways, just my perspective as a new users. Hope this wasn’t too much of a rant, maybe we can look at this as an issue where the fediverse can improve.
If all the linux users subscribe to all the Linux communities it won’t be a problem, right?
Yes this is true. I guess there’s also nothing in the way to subscribe to all 10. Except for a bloated personal subscription list.
yes it will because it means they each need to monitor 20 linux subs to keep up on all the conversation. Decentralizatin is a good idea, but it is not very user friendly, and it only works well for those who are computer savvy. for the other 90% of internet users, it is extremely complex and confusing.
