If you’re looking at pictures of cats, it’s not a big deal. If you’re asking for support with a niche operating system, it’s nice to know that what you’re looking at is the entirety of Lemmy’s resources without having to manually check that a new community popped up or federated in. Which is something that’s happening a lot as Lemmy gets more popular.
It’s sounds like we disagree on the benefits of decentralized communities. And I do understand your thoughts, I just think that the tools for finding content should be more automated to get the full benefit.
Have a good one
Then provide an ability to consent.
My point is that there could be a nearly identical community elsewhere that I would never know about unless the community I’m subscribed to straight up tells me it exists.
Early Lemmy adopters seem to think that being hard to use is a good thing. The algorithm boogeyman isn’t going to get you if there’s a way to subscribe to baseball@* with a blacklist.
I don’t disagree with you, but I think it would be cool if communities could federate too. If I’m subscribed to baseball@lemmy.world, it would be neat if baseball served up posts from all communities that they choose to associate with. Otherwise I would never know that there’s a sports-only instance out there that also has a huge baseball following.
I have seen the word normie used in almost exclusively sarcastic or tongue in cheek contexts.
Can I ask why you’re migrating to TrueNAS? I have been running unraid for a couple years and have been happy enough. I’m no expert so I mostly use basic features. Am I missing out on something TrueNAS has to offer?
