Wouldn't this just encourage SEO clickbaits more though? Also, a lot of these blogs can die over time, so it's also not the most reliable (like the owner can die or the domain providing service has expired or some shit). Also, how can this solve the problem of confabulated misconceptions (let's say that there are blogs that are feeding misinformation)? Without a moderating system, a comment section that can exist to engage and debunks those statements, and the upvote/downvote system... I think that it's hard to tell reliability of the information. Feel free to debunk my doubts though.

Bruh I just registered a domain with Google Domains 2 months ago.

I only got it done through Google Domains because I've heard the ease of setting it up and set it up and forget about it with Netlify (since I have no experience whatsoever with website administration procedures)... how does Squarespace compare? Should I look for other services?

So in order every single Fediverse instances, I'd have to include all of them? It'll be more fun if something that can exist to globally search every instances (and give us filter to opt out of some that the user do not enjoy) instead of making it a long long string like site:kbin.social + site:lemmy.world... Like kind of how greasyfork is doing with their search engine, I like it.

I've had better results searching through the instances themselves because Google doesn't always index the keywords on time. On caveat of this method is that if the instance doesn't have the syncing out the instance where the info is from being propagated, then this trick would not work

I found out in another thread that it is NOT intended behavior here https://kbin.social/m/youshouldknow@lemmy.world/t/56323/YSK-that-you-can-edit-titles-on-Lemmy-unlike-Reddit#entry-comment-241691

Which means that hopefully, there should be a fix underway... I hope🥲.

Uhhhh I read your title as "futaverse"... a-hem.

Same here! I feel like the problem with Reddit's established community is that most of them have found an "identity" and developed a "lingo" / "jargon" of their own. Like if you're not "innit" then it becomes harder to minge then there's this influx of downvotes making it very hard to wanting to take part without... lurking a shit ton. (like Stack Overflow mentality lol) Feels like threading thin ice sometimes. With a novel community like this one, where rules are yet to be set in stone, it feels... freer?

I mean, it still is very fun to lurk and digesting new content, but starting up posts on your own can also be a lot of fun. There's also a lot of bot/stalker behavior in Reddit which might minimize the incentive to be creative. With the smaller fediverse communities (especially closed/invite-only sign ups) it might be easier? I'm just speculating though...

Anyway, I'm happy that you are feeling more at ease being by posting more, keep it up!

Damn I was looking forever how to get some communities working. Thanks!

This is definitely a much needed information during onboarding (not sure if it was included already or if I've missed it).

Uh wow this is the first time I've seen summoning the instance in reverse (what I'm aware of so far) and it feels like black magic on the other end... My head hurts now hahaha 😵‍💫

Seems like how slow-ass and inept the implementation of regulation has being going to be the main problem with all these techs. Bad intention people will always try to spun off the advancement in a money-grubbing, harmful way. Nothing is ever spared.

I feel like the concept of "decentralisation" is good for the consuming users and people who want to discuss an interesting topic/subject, but not really for OC/content craetors... They just want their work to be as exposed to as many people as possible (exposure -> more clients -> bigger brand/value -> profit???), and defederalisating goes against that principle.

I think that instead of the brute-force solution "Reddit alternative" like the fediverse, I think that we need a transitional period for some people to still access highly pertinent information... which can be potentially be done by self-hosting Reddit, a Reddit clone (much like with dead forums), or all that dataset of Reddit archived somewhere where it's easy for querying and viewing for the end users. Granted, that might take extensive server capacity and violate the TOS of Reddit... (But I can't query nor know anything more about the topic of self-hosting Reddit with the flag site:reddit.com/r/selfhosted because the subreddit /r/selfhosted is private! Oh the irony!)

My list

Funsies & Weird brainstorming

• /r/competitiveoverwatch aka /r/cow (I don't play the game but I sure enjoy the juice)
• /r/hobbydrama (very diverse type of juicy dramas, miam!)
• /r/overwatchTMZ (/r/cow but extended)
• /r/valorantcompetitive (same reasoning for the OW one)
• /r/livestreamfail (don't post there; but is fun to occasionally lurk and see funny stuffs and be up to date with the latest online juicers)
• /r/anarchychess
• /r/singularity
• /r/BestofRedditorUpdates
• and 20 more cute animal pictures/videos subreddits like /r/partyparrots, /r/happycowgifs, etc.

Stuffs I use for er..... productivity! yeah yeah productivity, that's right!

• /r/obsidianmd I enjoy seeing other people's workflow and new tools being developed
• /r/chatgpt (Recently the main sub went to shit with the influx of new users so /r/chatgptcoding or /r/chatgptpro might be better lol)

Subreddits that I often get led by Google search engine and it would be sad if they were to go down perpetually since I would have a very hard time without them...

• /r/homelab
• /r/automation
• /r/selfhosted
• /r/datahoarder
• /r/android
• /r/sysadmin
• /r/kitchenconfidential
• /r/appliancerepair/

I'm also very interested in how some different jobs work so I subbed out to these to check on them occasionally... and they sometimes would provide interesting workflows/insights that I can a-hem, take inspiration from...

• /r/ExperiencedDevs/
• /r/accounting
• /r/uxdesign

There's way more but I visit those a bit less, the problem is, I'm not sure if Lemmy can fill the void in my heart but if it does for those main ones (all above) then I think that I can permanently migrate from Reddit.

While I'm not entirely sure about why things are set up the way they are, I guess that it was done on purpose seeing your response. Now, if explaining the why's and how's of this design is too much of a sensitive topic, I'm okay with dropping my questions and just going along with the ride 👍.

If it's possible as a compromise, how about consider displaying both "the origin of the magazine" (instance) and the "name of the magazine", rather than the existing format where kbin.social appears after the title, followed by just the "name of the magazine" (omitting the original instance from which it hails).

For example, the current layout is:

TITLE

(kbin.social)

PREVIEW OF BODY TEXT

USER, 33 minutes ago to NAME_OF_MAGAZINE_WITHOUT_ORIGINAL_INSTANCE (like meta)

My suggestion is to include an option for displaying it like this (I do understand that it might be a clutter to some, but it would be a nice feature for others facing the same qualms as I do):

TITLE

(kbin.social)

PREVIEW OF BODY TEXT

USER, 33 minutes ago to NAME_OF_MAGAZINE_WITH_ORIGINAL_INSTANCE (like META@LEMMY.ML)

To provide some context, I came across a post on either main or meta on the front page. It had kbin.social listed below the title along with the "name of the magazine," but the original instance name was missing. I was about to express my confusion since it didn't align with my experience on kbin.social, but upon double-checking the URL, I realized the post was not related to kbin.social at all. This "issue" generated by the behavior seems to mainly affect mags like main and meta posts, but considering these posts do often appear on the front page (since I've enabled other instances to discover more exciting content), I think that it's issue worth exploring.

Hopefully in the meantime, I've figured better ways to work around this issue (to verify the instance of the magazine) on mobile ( apart from checking the address bar), which are to

• click on the hamburger menu or
• to scroll to the page's end.
