Tried an account on a smaller instance since yesterday to avoid hammering the main ones.
Seems like the posts/comments I made on here weren't coming through to other instances though.

MODERATORS
I noticed the c/Formula 1 on Lemmy.world is not on the list of partners.
Is there any communication or coordination between those two? While this one seems more active, the other one has more members (strangely).
I posted early on in that sub about merging/coordinating with this one and the mod replied they weren't closing the sub and removed my post. Note there is (or at least was at the time) nothing in the community or instance rules prohibiting discussion of other communities. And also... like... 90% of Lemmy is new users finding new communities (including that mod, whose account was like 4d old at the time). Prohibiting discussion of other communities is just... wildly against the spirit of what's happening right now. Neither mod group seems to acknowledge the other in at-mentions either.
Anyway, it's a small data point but my somewhat speculative take is the mod over there is power tripping and I've avoided it since.
While this one seems more active, the other one has more members (strangely).
The sub numbers can be confusing to read. I believe when viewing the sub count of a remote community, you see only subscribers from your instance... But when viewing a local community you see all subscribers. At any rate, if you look at each community on its home server you see:
- This sub has ~3k subscribers: https://lemmy.ml/c/formula1
- The other has like ~1.5k: https://lemmy.world/c/formula1
To my knowledge we do not have any rules against talking about other communities. I will bring it up with the other mods. With the way Lemmy works there will be other subs of the same name with cross subs. I’m going to be subbed to any F1 sub I can find.
Thanks for making the effort to coordinate this and post your experience. It makes me feel more confident sticking with this community
