Or the comment sections could just be merged together in the client view. Each thread of comments would belong to one (and only one) instance, so it shouldn’t be difficult to merge those lists together when presenting the aggregate view to the user.
I wouldn’t say that the Expanse books are “significantly better” than the show - they’re both fantastic, and both have bits where they’re better than the others (for example, the books have more characters and storylines, plus the arc of the last three books, while the show is amazingly well adapted and in many ways is a second revision of the overall story).
I’m still holding out hope for seasons 7-9 happening at some point in ~5 years. Assuming it’s adapted at the same level as the prior seasons, seeing the final trilogy on screen will be epic!
It would be very beneficial to have clients that support aggregating equivalent communities from multiple instances. When viewing a post from the aggregated community there could be a section at the top saying “Viewing comments from:” and then a dropdown to choose between “all instances”, “lemmy.world”, “lemmy.ml”, etc. When viewing all comments, they would be in one combined feed, without the user needing to care about which underlying post holds the specific thread they’re looking at.
Similarly, when users post something to an aggregate community, they could select whether it’s posted to all the included communities, only one, or some specific subset.
I freaking hate Shorts, and the persistence with which YouTube attempts to shove that crap down your throat is absolutely infuriating.
YouTube also recently made the thumbnails larger, which is also really bad as it makes it more difficult to see what videos are in your subscription feed (even moreso with all the shorts clogging it up).
I’m always frustrated when a game or service says to check out their Discord for information. Discord is a confusing mess of chat channels, and while it can certainly be useful in (near-)realtime interactions, I can’t imagine trying to look up longer-lived information, like what they’re trying to use it for. Make a forum, or a blog, or use a subreddit, but not Discord.
I think the most recent case of this was the game Terra Invicta, where I saw a tangential reference somewhere to some coming updates to the game, and a game rep said to check their Discord for more details. No thanks.
