This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they’d like to @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.
Note: This will be the thread tmrw, so you can use this thread to ask and vote on questions beforehand.
I can, will do it this evening. I don’t think it does sort like that I’m pretty sure I noticed it just being in any old order, maybe alphabetical? Either way a clearly indicated

would strongly incentivise community owners to crosspost their content for the community promotion it provides, and reward them with subscribers for doing it. It generates a little bit of “hey stop advertising in our subreddit” from some modteams but it’s worth far more than it takes away, and this is an extremely specific little detail of the system that I think only people that have tried to start many different new subreddits will understand.Back in the Digg days Reddit just quietly sat in Digg’s shadow as a sort of “dual power” if you will. Its community did its own thing, creating a culturally-unique space with its own community that liked it for its own sake. They just had to exist and Digg would eventually shit the bed. I think one of the major things that community owners here ought to be doing, which sadly the largest - lemmyworld - is not, is to create a space that is not just “we’re reddit but without Spez”. Better reasons for being here other than just spite are essential for longevity. Hexbear does a good job of this, Lemmy seems to be building that up too, I’ve recently become fond of the direction lemm.ee appears to be headed but we’ll see.
Ironically lemmyworld won’t see this criticism because of their defederation, so their users are missing out on several ama responses.
