Idk if I think lemm.ee is a good alternative. (lemm.ee)

I think this place is too fragmented into instances to ever generate a front page anywhere near what r/all is.

If I understand this page right, https://lemm.ee will never show the top post of the day from https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/, https://discuss.tchncs.de/, or https://feddit.uk/.

And the "front page/general" site is already split into several instances (https://vlemmy.net/, https://lemmy.world/, https://sh.itjust.works/, https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/ and https://lemmy.one/, all claiming to be "a general front page lemmy instance")

So what's the deal, which one are we betting on as the place to direct all the new traffic? What's the contender for primary public internet bulletin board? Right now the arrow to an alternative is looking like this: https://i.imgur.com/L1XsBy6.pngd

I'm personally guessing the conclusion is already reached; We have no place we're betting on. We're disinterested in pushing for any particular result. We don't expect people to migrate. Many might not even want them to.

We aren't. That's the thing, there isn't a single place with lemmy. There's lots of places that all communicate between each other.

As I expected. Lemmy does not want to compete.

I also expect this place to be dead and forgotten by the end of the year, a few mentions and visits on occasion, but never growing past a maximum of ~100 participants in the most active posts.

The top posts from all of those instances will have a chance to appear on your front page of lemm.ee, as long as at least one lemm.ee user has previously subscribed to the community those top posts are posted on!

If you put your front page on "subscribed", then you will see posts from all communities you are subscribed to, regardless of whether these communities are lemmy.ml, feddit.uk or any other instance.

If you put your front page on "all", you will see posts from ALL communities that have at least one subscriber on lemm.ee (again, regardless of what instance these communities are housed on).

So to be clear, you have nothing to worry about! 😃

Let me know if any of this doesn't make sense, I'm happy to explain further.
