I hear ya. For us more technically inclined folk, it’s an inconvenience. For more layman folk, it’s completely unapproachable.

Ok? Your point? It’s still more than one community.

It’s gonna be more important than ever to appear active and engaging if we want people to convert from Reddit. It’s not going to look enticing if you need to potentially look around at multiple subs to see the content that used to be on one.

You’re not wrong about the load.

Until that’s implemented (which is great btw, didn’t know that was coming) - my concern is Reddit refugees will see ghost town communities and just head back to Reddit. If we try getting our small community to appear more united, it’ll encourage others to ditch Reddit all together.

As for the multi-lemmy feature - is that gonna be something we can just one click subscribe to? Or we’ll need to build out the multi ourselves? If the latter, then the concern about new users seeing ghost towns still stands.

It’s nice to have backups but doesn’t this just fracture the already small lemmy piracy community even more? Maybe running it as a mirror without the possibility to engage would be better.
