[Battle of subs] /m/tech is murdering /m/technology in the numbers.
Turns out the /r/technology fans were lurkers after all. So far /m/technology has 1 comment vs 170 for /m/tech.
I moved to /r/tech on reddit when it became apparent that /r/technology were shills, or astrofurfers, or both.... something was weird on /r/technology.
I mentioned here how it would be good to allow magazines themselves to federate, to reduce community fragmentation.
Certainly already there's m/ai, m/artificialintelligence, and m/machinelearning on this instance alone. It feels a bit spammy to post to all three (plus extra work).
I think its common in online communities. Reddit had the same thing. IMO the competition is good and things will eventually converge on the community with the best content and moderation.
I think it's because the @ tags are conflated between users and magazines. /m/technology@beehaw.org is correct as that's the magazine page. /u/@technology would be the user page. I was wondering earlier why lemmy put a ! in front of their magazine names and now I'm starting to get it lol.
