User accounts are fragmented and just because you signed on at lemmy.world doesn’t mean your account exists on lemmy.ca.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985

Communities are fragmented and /c/games on lemmy.world is completely different than the one on lemmy.ml with its own users, set of posts, etc.

Lemmy does not currently allow for instance or user migration.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3057

Nor does it allow for shared communities (ie the aforementioned /c/games is unified across multiple instances)

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3100

We are in the early days. If you’re eager feel free to join in the development on these any many other core issues. There’s real potential here.

    Isn’t that the whole point though? Not relying on a single entity by spreading out, but still being connected?

    Fragmentation would be fixed by just integrating lemmyverse.net’s functionality into lemmy itself (like in this github issue), allowing users to see the true user count/activity of comms and incentivise them to join the most popular one.

    Needs to be done asap imo; comm discoverability is not good right now and is probably the single biggest hurdle for new users

      Anyone want to be the scrum master for them? Lol. Looks like they need a sprint planning session!
