I do love the cross post thing. it was a great idea.
Comment on Doesn't each community being local to each instance split the audience?
Deceptichum@kbin.social 11 months agoEh it’s an annoyance and one Kbin/lemmy devs are working on improving. Kbin already now groups cross posts across instances, and there’s still more progress being made on fixing this issue.
Ideally it shouldn’t matter where you are, at current it does.

@Deceptichum I guess it would if it's super important to you to be able to discuss any given post with the biggest possible number of people (which kbin's crosspost feature already fixes, because it shows you how many comments are on an article's crossposts and links you to them).
But I quite like some of the smaller discussion communities. Worrying about there bering several on a topic isn't much different to worrying about how reddit had several subs on the same topics.
Things are developing their own flavour already. It has to happen organically.
