That search/SEO is broken seems to be part of the game plan here.

It’s probably like Russia burning Moscow against Napoleon and a hell of a privilege Google enjoy with their monopoly.

I’ve seen people opt for chatGPT/AI precisely because it’s clean, simple and spam free, because it isn’t Google Search.

And as @caseynewton said … the web is now in managed decline.

For those of us who like it, it’s up to us to build what we need for ourselves. Big tech has moved on

Yea for sure. I’m not enough of YouTuber to use an account and comment though.

Plus I get the feeling that the astrophysics community kinda bounced off of the fediverse. But definitely worth a try.

Well, I don’t think centralising everything on lemmy.world, especially communities, is a good idea.

Apart from the single point of failure issue, I would imagine that there’s an infrastructural issue caused by putting too many communities on one instance not unlike the load caused by a user with a huge amount of followers.

As a community is the source of “truth” it has to sync all the data to all the subscribers. Distributing this probably makes sense (??)

@marv99 no need to apologise!! All good!

I think I may have misunderstood you!

They did create an official substitute. It’s a whole separate instance at startrek.webpage. r/startrek, r/daystrom and r/risa have set up parallel communities there. I just created a lemmy account in the server too!

@marv99 I mean, there is no such thing as a corresponding community. There are just communities that may or may not have overlapping interests. Things are still too new and shifting for there to be established communities or pairs of communities.

From my understanding though, yes that’s an old or the oldest Star Trek community on lemmy. But that doesn’t mean it’s active.

I’ve demonstrated how to do it here: https://hachyderm.io/@maegul/110483509521476095

In the second post is a link to the what the post looks like on lemmy.

The demo uses @ test @ lemmy.ml. Which is for testing things. So you can muck around with it too or other similar communities on other lemmy instances if they exist.
