This sounds great ! So if I take a famous video game as an example (for the sake of the argument, pong). maybe lemmy.world/pong is a global english-speaking community and mylocal.place/pong is the community of players near me (in a localized language). What might be strange is a transition period when you look for the biggest worldwide community, but don’t know on which instance to subscribe… Very new user here… I am right ?

And what about user accounts ?

In your example, is all the (new) data from lemmy.ca/pcgaming copied to this instance ?

Thanks from France ! Des francophones sur cette instance ?

Playing Dwarf Fortress too… Patiently waiting for adventure mode to be released.

C’est super d’avoir créé une communauté, merci pour ça. Maintenant il va falloir créer un peu de contenu… Mais je pense que l’avenir sera d’avoir une instance française / francophone[1] ! À mon avis le côté fédératif de lemmy est un avantage pour les communautés linguistiques : par exemple pour avoir des commus dédiées à un sujet particulier (qui existe déjà sur une autre instance en anglais) mais en français.

[1] je dis ça, mais je ne sent pas prêt / capable de monter une instance moi même…

Usenet was one of my startng point too… Funny to think it was (in a way) decentralized.

The problem is when the funny answers bury the experts post that you are looking to.

The algorithm really doesn’t work when you are critical or sceptical over a subject. For instance crypto sceptics from r/buttcoin being shown binance ads. Yes, they do show an interest in crypto, but may be the least suceptible persons to that ad.

I completely agree with you, and your example is very good indeed. (Maybe my previous comment was not clear ? English is not my mothertongue)
