Is it possible to automatically subscribe to all (federated) communities with the same name?
Example in the screenshot: I want to follow !astronomy, and I don’t really care whether the content is coming from from Lemmy.World, kbin.social and mander.xyz - I just want to see it all.
Obviously I could manually subscribe to them all, but is it possible to do so automatically? Ideally if a new similar community pops up on another instance, I wouldn’t miss it.
I read here that community grouping is a thing, so that instances with identical communities can work together. Is that a feature that could work towards this end?
Sometimes one of them will be just bot posts pulling their content from Reddit or somewhere and it’s kind of annoying, like spam. So sometimes you might want to join one but avoid the other.
The first decade of Reddit’s life it was just pulling content from 4chan and Digg. I would not be surprised to see the fediverse operate similarly.
You’re already seeing Karma farmers on the front page with the reposted piss meme, the north Korean awards memes, uncreative people will attempt to dilute any platform they can find.
Same people that copy your homework and pat themselves on the back or take credit at work for your idea.
Why are some names like yours in big obnoxious blue letters?
You can edit your display name on their website. I like mine 🤷♂️
I mean a lot of the content posted on reddit wasn’t actually made by the posters to begin with. Everybody’s just sharing memes they found on other platforms.
We all came from Reddit, we’ve seen the top of r/all. People should create content instead of “sharing” stuff they “found.” Or get it from obscure places.
I believe they only use one bot, and they all come from the same instance. I already just blocked the bot.
I don’t understand the point of cross-posting from advice subs at all.
I get it if that post from reddit can spark some inferesting discussion between lemmings. What I don’t get is people copying posts from AITA or stuff like that, where the original poster is looking for responses from the comments. I saw one for the LTT subreddit and I’m kinda torn on that, because it can spark some discussion, but its not like LTT is actually going to interact with a bot copy of the subreddit.
