Wait you can see lemmy feed from mastodon. Please teach me this magic I have both Mlem and mastodon but I’m never on mastodon if i could interact with lemmy on there that might change everything.

I don’t think I’m understanding this right cause it sounds like you’re trying to make it more fun by adding more rules. If there are 20 groups that are all about pickles that’s fine they each like running things their own way. Eventually one group gets popular and that’s where the majority goes. I think your frustration could better be solved with something like tags where groups could choose to associate certain tags words that makes search easier like tag: pickles-fermenting-homemade-cucumbers and that could clear up search from people just wanting to share pickle Rick memes.

That’s really interesting and wasn’t my experience at all. I wonder what other requirements are out there for different instances?

You wrote about this in your application? What application? Do some instances require an essay to join?

Maybe use it to buy awards for posts announcing or supporting the migration or protest?
