Duplicate Pages Across Fediverse

Calcharger@kbin.social to Fediverse@kbin.social – 82 points –

So I notice that KBIN and BEEHAW and LEMMY all have duplicate pages dedicated to the same content. Are we as a community going to have to decide which page will be the 'main' page, will we have to subscribe to each magazine for each instance, or will they consolidate eventually?

So like, theres a technology@beehaw, a technology@lemmy, and a tech for kbin. Does it make sense to spend time cultivating one, if another ends up getting more attention?

I thought it was kind of funky at first. But I do like the idea that if one of them turns into some reddit-like hellhole, there will most likely be something similar on another instance. It doesn't take much to subscribe to multiple similar subs.

That's fair. I just wanna be sure that i'm not sharing content that nobody is bothering to read because there's a more popular instance somewhere that I'm unawares of

That's fair. I'm new, so take what I have to say with a huge grain of salt. I've just been subscribing to all the technology@<whatever> that I see and hope to catch most posts. If they get so big that they start duplicating and annoying amount of material, I figure I'll just cut back from whichever ones seem to have the least value. Least value for me.

I suggest that you don't worry very much about how many people read your posts, especially in early days. I've seen people super stressed about how they can't make their posts on Mastodon go viral enough. The scale here will be smaller.
