News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

To prevent the centralisation of power into a single instance. If Lemmy.world was the only instance and the owners and admins would have full power. Because the fediverse is centralised, if the instance goes bad - or some moderators on communities there go bad, they can be replaced on another instance.
Yes, but none of them are active.
No I totally understand the benefit of decentralization; however on the user end, I just want to consume content.
To that end, can I post on one knitting instance and that'll reach all knitting communities on Lemmy? How do I get the most engagement, which instance is the most popular
(and by the way, knitting was a random example on my end, but I am surprised that there aren't any active instances to what I would assume, is a fairly popular hobby).
No. Not through Lemmy. But Piefed, which reads Lemmy communities - has feeds that users can make that combines communities into a single feed. Incidentally, I have made a knitting feed.
Tbh Lemmy/Piefed is pretty nerd orientated. It is popular, but not with the audiences here. In any case, there are centralisation efforts on here from time to time designed to unify communities of the same topic across multiple instances by locking cloned communities. When there is demand, but split, this does happen.
Maybe somehow the apps should have the simplified version of that , where you subscribe to a topic , and get multiple instances. Lenny is inherently more complicated than a centralized app
Piefed is indeed better for that: https://piefed.social/feeds
You can subscribe to those feeds, and see all the communities they list in one view
Thanks, I’ll check it out
Enjoy!

Here is the knitting feed as an example.
