Thank you, this makes a lot of sense. Kinda what I figured, but wanted to make sure.

Sweet! I would be interested, and might be able to help test. Let me know if something comes of it.

For real. I feel like I recall a browser extension doing something similar for Mastodon. But I don’t have the coding knowledge to adapt that to this use case.

Ok I have a dumb question. Is Technology@beehaw.org supposed to have the same content as technology@lemmy.ml? Or are those two similarly names, but separate things with potentially differnt content?

This really needs more awareness. Today I searched for a specific game (Honkai Star Rail) and found one, then a second popped up a few minutes later on a different instance. Hardly anyone is on either, but it’s a thing that people need to consider before just making a new one. Especially moving forward.

AFAIK, it does. But the url structure is slightly different. Instead of
https://kbin.social/c/memes@lemmy.ml
It would be https://kbin.social/m/memes@lemmy.ml with an “m” instead of a “c”.

I’m still learning, so someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
