When the title is “best Lemmy app” and the body is just “which Lemmy app do you use for Android and why” you can understand why someone would just scroll through and contribute their experience with Sync right?
Just like every other link aggregator: people on All don’t pay attention to the specific community.
It’s not malice, just people being oblivious. It’s not worth getting worked up about.
I definitely can understand it, but that isn’t mutually exclusive with me wishing people would take a second to check the community they’re commenting in.
I’ve never implied it was malice (suggesting closed-source software in a FOSS community is a pretty weak example in maliciousness even if on purpose!) And really I wouldn’t say I’m worked up, I just wanted to bring this up because I’ve noticed this type of thing happen across a couple FOSS communities on lemmy and maybe someone will see my original comment and be more mindful of it next time.
I’m a sync user, scrolled in from all, and saw this post.
Didn’t know it was the FOSS community till I saw (your?) the top level comment mentioning it.
I think you are seeing this more because the FOSS community gets up voted enough to appear in the all list, which brings us all users in. I certainly have seen it more than once as well. We don’t search for communities, we search for content. Good content brings in activity!
