Please explain. I don’t get the joke.

Can I filter out any post about Lemmy? It feels like a circlejerk sometimes

This is a great idea but I see problems with it. Someone has to define the topics but this can be done by name matching. The bigger problem is the decentralized nature of Lemmy. Every server has to scan every other server for the communities to create a topic. Now let’s say we have 10 servers and each of them will have to fetch from the other 9 servers the communities list. This would already be 90 requests sent global. Now scale this up to 1000 and a single server will have to send 999 requests and respond to 999.

Edit: Currently we have over 1426 servers

I couldn’t find my headphones that resulted in me barely missing my train that arrived shortly before a person started shooting at people at the train station I was planning to go to.

No, for the time. I like the idea but i see a lot of issues that hopefully get fixed in the future. For example the existence of 5 communities with the same name. Where do I join? it makes things more inconvenient. Finding communities is hard without 3rd party websites. If I search on my instance for a community that is on a different one I would like it to be shown as a search result and not having to get the URL and paste it in. Time will hopefully fix all these problems and Ill invest some time of my own to add features to this platform.

The Christian community has more Users than hairypussy on lemmy but I don’t understand the joke
