I’m genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

    If you click on Communities and select All, it allows you to search for Communities across all of Lemmy-Land, not just the instance that you’ve signed up on. I think that every instance can have its own separate community with the same name, but in a lot of cases that may even be desirable.

    As far as moving users/communities between servers, that’s Nomadic Identity. As far as I know, the only Fediverse project that implements it is the Zot protocol that Streams and Hubzilla are built on. ActivityPub does not support and it’s not on the roadmap as far as I know.

      Community search: yes i know and used it. It’s just not useful if one doesn’t exactly know what keyword to search for. An index by general topc would be nice to have. I was thinking about making a sorting thread but really, a subforum would not be the right place for it.

      Migration of data … well too much OT discussion coming to my mind.
