So I’m still getting used to the fediverse construct. As this list grows, to be a complete list, shouldn’t communities across instances be listed together? Otherwise you may get a fragmented view of the community and end up depending on the sustainment of a single instance.

It’s in the 100k+ section.

Interesting interaction. Certainly more direct than I’d be but hey that’s okay. One piece of feedback for communicating here is to relay the mission and vision you’re trying to build. It’s indirectly stated here when he states what their objectives should be, but without clearly laying it out there, there’s no way for any collaboration to occur.

And this is not to say collaboration with Meta is a good idea, but just overall anyone can’t know how to work with you if they don’t know what you’re building towards.

I’ve got a few questions from this then:

Does this mean one account on any kbin instance, one account for peertube, one for mastodon? 3 accounts? Can I have one account across services?

If l self-host each of these services and have it locked to just me, and then post from my own server instance to other instances, who stores that post data? Does it reside on my server? If I shut it down, do my posts disappear or show [deleted] like Reddit did? If the posts remain because they’re also stored by the other instance, what happens if both are shut down?

Every so often I think “well every company is shit so why not go back to the communities I love on Reddit”. Then another thing like this surfaces and it reinforces my boycott.

A lot of people send me Reddit links. Is there any way to load them without actually visiting the site? Like a mirror or archive?
