I would agree from an outdoors perspective but there’s no part of those states that really fit “blueish”. I keep hoping as a neighborhood state, but Wyoming continues to disappoint as does Montana.

Nice! Thanks for the info! I’ll get something set up today to start contributing.

Hate to repost the same thing, but this might help in that regard: https://sh.itjust.works/post/70143

It’s not really an extension, rather its a GreaseMonkey script, but it does simplify the process quite a bit by redirecting a community to your local instance. I’ve found it has simplified my workstream. I’m sure there will be extensions and other utilities to come in the near future.

I also found this GreaseMonkey script that simplifies the entire process by allowing you to redirect any community to your local instance: https://sh.itjust.works/post/70143

This really simplified my workstream for adding new communities. There is also a script to reformat the site to look more like old Reddit if you are really wanting to feel at home. Some great work being done in that community.

I love seeing all the old subreddits showing up on Lemmy as new communities. I hope to see this community grow into an active community that is truly owned by the community!

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I found something similar after I had posted this message.

Definitely some learning to do as to how the federated system works with Lemmy.

I have also noticed that communities advertised in new communities don’t also show up on other instances. This seems especially true of communities originating on lemmy.world (at least for me).

Cheers!

Your comment tweaks my interest as an outdoor person and an engineer. =)

I’ve seen this happening elsewhere. All growing pains.

That said, I am curious as to the thread you were responding. Sounds interesting. =)

Former Redditor. For those that are partaking in the Reddit walkout, with no plans on returning, is there additional information available for the datahoarding effort? The amount of information stuck in Reddit is overwhelming and we need to free that information for ingestion elsewhere.

I actually was searching for a solution to an issue today and the solution was on Reddit, which was set to private. I would love to help ensure this information is made available elsewhere.

It does keep you on your toes. I’ve actually seen a few response to new communities that were posted in the wrong community, assuming it was due to the page updating.

That was my thought as well, or assumption. I’m new here so it will take a bit to figure out the duplication model and what floats to the top, but I’m in for the adventure. =)

Totally agree. I feel like this is the equivalent, to some degree, of Stack Overflow just suddenly going away. The history needs to be preserved, somehow.

I’m also a Digg Exodus user that came to Reditt in 2008. I have very few posts and little karma as it was more of an aggregator of content for me and less about the interaction. And at the same time reading the comments was some of the best part of the experience.

The move from Digg to Reddit took a bit but who remembers Digg now? And Digg crumbled for the same reasons, management not listening to the users. This sucks but it too will pass.

Even if a community exists for the content you seek, how do you determine the one that is going to grow? There could be a different version of that community on every server, which is the area I’m struggling to find content. Join every alternative is an option.

Unless there is something I’m missing. Quite possible as the federated approach is all new to me.
