Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understood so far about the fediverse, someone can host an instance with only one community (or create a community in an existing server) not allowing posting, but allowing commenting and use it as a personal blog. Correct?
That way, Beehaw/Lemmy would be an aggregator of communities and personal blogs which conveniently one could see in the same feed (like in RSS).
Is it doable or is there another recommended way to keep your blog connected with the fediverse?
Disclaimer: I don’t know anything about coding or how this stuff works in the background.
But I’m a fairly old reddit user excited with Lemmy who thinks that the the limitation to the creation of communities is a good thing and that there’s always a chance to make stuff differently.
The concept I would like to brainstorm is: branching.
Instead of simply giving the ability to create new communities to users, would it be possible (and desirable) to just branch existing communities? As an example, let’s imagine that DnD discussions start to dominate the gaming community (yeah, I know, it’s just for theoretical hypothesis). Could the mods at a certain point decide to create a sub community for DnD inside the gaming community? When people would subscribe to “gaming” they would see the existing branches and decide if they want to subscribe to gaming in general or just that one set of games in particular. Apart from the benefit to the user, a mapping of Lemmy’s communities would also be much more easy to visualize.
I don’t know… this just occurred to me and wanted to share.
I've posted this on /c/gaming. When I go to my profile and select "posts" it doesn't show anything. Also, a lot of people where kind enough to answer me, a replied and none of those comments show. The post has 52 comments and I can see maybe 5 of them (and none of my replies).
I've tried on the site and now on jeroboa, no difference.
Also, I can see the replies on my notifications but after clicking they won't show on the full comments on the post.
Am I doing something wrong?
