  • Let’s say I have a favorite sport and there exists a sub_ named: r/.

    Let’s also say there already exits a Lemmy community and that community is struggling to get off the ground: !@lemmy.world

    I can see a value add if your project directly helps !@lemmy.world get started; but I don’t see how it does. If anything wouldn’t your project compete with !@lemmy.world and therefore hinder it?

    It might be different if your project directly tied r/ to !@lemmy.world but it doesn’t.






  • Thanks for the replies. So I guess USENET had/has an advantage here, as all USENET servers replicate “all” newsgroups automatically. To the extent that one server exists, the newsgroup lives on regardless of its origination point. In that sense, the collective work of all contributors is not lost until the retention date passes.

    The ActivityPub proposal mentioned by @chris seems to be a good enough equivalent, at least for communities that are shared.
