I’m definitely thinking as much about what should be as what is. Since seeing this specific group launch, I’ve been through a few variations of “how can I keep up with the conversations that interest me?” I’m already cycling through many clients, and it seems like the models are not quite right yet.
I’m posting here from a Lemmy client through my Midwest.social account, but I check my Mastodon.social account more often. I’m mostly shifted to Phanpy, which distinguishes group posts nicely… so I’ve subscribed to these Lemmy groups from my mastodon account as well. Not a universal client, but maybe better than checking many clients.
I still might miss things; when I think to “check what I’ve missed”, it’s probably easier to do in Lemmy’s forum model. I haven’t seen Phanpy make “look through my groups” a first-class UX use case.
Also thinking about recent readings on fediverse identity and Lemmy cross-posting/group federation and thinking we have a lot still to figure out. (I really have a lot of doubts about the centrality of “instances”, but can’t say clearly what’s better rn)
But, specifically thinking about Ghost’s announcement, I’m interested in hearing what people see as the issues and opportunities so will try to figure out how to keep up
