    The biggest annoyance to me personally, with fediverse communities. Complete fragmentation.

    Not to say I want a centralised control, but something in the middle

      It does make establishing a critical mass of comments to make a good discussion difficult. I’ve had it once or twice where I discovered a post in one community commented and didn’t get any replies, only to discover some other discussion on the same content happened elsewhere on the fediverse that I wasn’t subscribed to.

        I heard someone describe it as discussing a topic in different bars. You’ll get a slightly different niche in each space. Has its pros and cons. But beats the centralization.

      I have to wonder if there is a way for clients to glom together duplicate posts across your subscribed communities into one, and if you reply to a thread in that post it passes it back to the correct discussion.

      I mean, you’d still see repetitive stuff in the post’s comments from your point of view, but everything would be in one place from your perspective and it would be semi-transparent, at least for the communities you subscribe to.

      All the information is there, it should be doable…
