That might be possible. Rimu could add filters into community settings to hide crossposts.

Oh I agree, it wasn’t explained (how could it be explained, to be fair) but they didn’t drop it is what I mean

?

To be fair, HBO is a better fit for this than Netflix or Amazon would be.

I don’t get how you think its centralised here. What code are you referring to?

This would mean a fundamental change to how both Lemmy and Piefed work.

I think you may be overestating the amount of crossposts that happen for the idea that it would somehow cause ‘monoculturalism’

Alternative suggestion - allow communities to block crossposting functionality with specified communities in the community settings.

Piefed splits up the comment boxes based on community when a thread is crossposted, so you can still distinguish between the comment boxes on different communities despite them being visible.

That said, a potential future option here would be a community opt-out of crosspost functionality in this way

It’s not that cluttered. Have you looked at how it looks on piefed?

The different communities on Piefed are still separated within the post. You can still see which community you would be replying to

Piefed groups comment boxes from crossposts into one post. So no matter which crosspost you’re looking at, you’ll see all responses.

Well, no, the site doesn’t /need/ them as such but 100% it’s a major issue for people coming over. Their hobbies are represented on Reddit. But not on here.

I’m just saying that embedding software restrictions on phones known to be bought for under 16s isn’t going to be especially effective at stopping them from popping up on social media. It would have some impact, but not substantial.

Do you mean like card details?

I don’t think that’s comparable to giving your passport or face to every single community website. Moreover, a dog grooming website is presumably not expecting bulk sign-ups and is likely handled by humans.

What basic things are you referring to?

kids could still use social media on computers and tablets, and there’s no way to stop phones being hand-me-downed or ensure adults don’t just buy phones for their kids as ‘adult’ phones.

Bluesky is a Twitter alternative. It really doesn’t compare to Reddit.

No. It says Lemmy only.

That always helps, but you can hardly advertise services like this outside of here.
