Alternative LTT Communities

3 years ago by cpressland to c/linustechtips

One of the key differences between traditional social media and the Fediverse is the existence of multiple communities that share the same topic. You should have a choice when it comes to your community preferences so I wanted to create a list of other LTT/LMG communities on the Fediverse to help us all grow.

If you’re aware of a community I’ve missed, please comment them below and I’ll update the post body.

One of the key differences between traditional social media

It was like that on Reddit. And from my time on Facebook I also remember many groups on the same topic.

True, but discoverability on Reddit was much much easier, I’ve found this to be one of Lemmys weakest attributes so far. I’m sure it’ll improve over time or somebody will make a search engine based on the instance map over on GitHub.

Hmm, that’s not a bad idea. I might give that a try at some point.

You mean this? https://lemmyverse.net/communities

Though currently due to some bad configuration on the side of lemmy.world all of their communities are missing from there which makes it much less usable than it used to be.

I think that, for such kinds of communities, we need synchronised posting for major things... Like announcements and whatnot.

With federation, you can have as many rimjob_steve’s as you like! 😁

This’d usually be something a bot would do. I use one over on !ltt@devops.pizza to keep an eye on things but I don’t let it post/comment as I want to encourage the community to actively post and not just lurk.

But if posting news to all LTT communities is something the respective community members and moderators are happy to see, I could add that as a feature.

This community seems to be the biggest. Why don't we funnel things here

I don’t see the point of splitting an already thin community across multiple instances like this. Am I suppose to post the same things five different times?
