They like Lemmy World but don’t like the fractured idea of each instance having the same name for a community.
I like that idea. On reddit, if someone made the subreddit r/nonbinary and they were a transphobe, there was nothing you could do except create r/truenonbinary or r/nonbinarytransaccepting or whatever else. r/nonbinary belonged to a bigot forever. On the fediverse, you have to compete with platforms that have the same name as you, but might be more tolerant or have a better user experience. You don’t have ownership over a name which you can leverage against others
That’s a really great point. I’m hoping that in the future there will be something like community federation on top of server federation, so that friendly communities that are very similar (not just in name) can be joined together to share content and users and blacklist unfriendly communities. Even if this was something that was done on the user/app side, rather than a real Lemmy feature it would make it easier to follow multiple similar communities, and it would be less of an issue to have the same community existing on multiple servers.
