TEST FAILED, YOU WILL NOW BE PURGED.

Nah that was outside ☠️

Eh. Most people will just see posts from the more popular one in their feed and subscribe from there. Or search for something and they’ll pick the top result which is going to be the larger one.

It’s not really much more confusing than say /r/Tech vs /r/Technology. Or /r/offmychest vs /r/trueoffmychest etc

One will get big, the other will die. Give it time

I’d imagine it would be the same way it worked on Reddit when there were multiple communities with identical topics/similar names:

One gets a bit larger, therefore shows up in feeds more, appears higher in search results, etc.

I’m on an incredibly small instance that self reports costs at about $18 USD/month

If I really wanted to shoestring it, I could definitely get it lower. But I did want some headroom to grow, and to operate semi-professionally. With the recent upgrades we should be good for a while.

(Also if anyone wants to jump to a small instance, thelemmy.club has some room :)

The UK is a lost cause

I maintain two accounts. One in which I carefully pick what to watch to curate better recommendations, and another on which I watch whatever the fuck that I don’t want to affect my recommendations

It shouldn’t be this hard tho
