This is fixed in version 0.19.3, hopefully your instance will update soon

I'm talking about desktop experience, but sure...?

https://lemmyverse.net/communities ?

In this context it's just faster to type, and not really ambiguous.

I’d fear instead that centralisation is pretty sticky without some massive failure and wouldn’t expect much movement in the proportion of users on lemmy.world.

It happened in August during the long DDoS attacks on LW.

I guess here it's less prevalent because the site is still accessible, and most of the users don't really follow closely the Lemmy versions.

Enjoy, feddit.de is a great instance

Lemmyverse.net show both communities: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=watchreddit

It probably didn't show up in the first place it only has 66 subscribers, and probably none on SJW.

About your second point, you indeed have to promote your community, using !newcommunities@lemmy.world, or related communities. This works quite well usually.

I will add that in your case, people knew about your community as you posted in other communities, but as discussed then, people seemed happy with the existing Reddit-focused communities.

Thank you!

Matter of fact, I’m gonna have a charcuterie board for breakfast!

Enjoy!

But wouldn’t it be great if the knitting community (for example) on beehaw.org, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world and feddit.de would be merged for me into one entity for a better browsing experience?

Why wouldn't they merge on one instance? Seems easier, and can be done today compared to having to ask the developers to implement a complex feature.

Interesting point.

On the other side, as LW is more cautious about updates, that might have suggested some users to switch to instances that were more up-to-date.

But indeed I agree that people should be more spread, having 25% of Lemmy on one instance is less than ideal: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

Thanks for your comments!

I am being held hostage against my will by a 6 year old and a 2 year old. Help

Hopefully at some point in the future they'll get more independent? I'm not a parent yet, I guess parents of other child can chime in
