Did you guys give up on trying to get redditors over here? - Futurology Today
I saw no one’s posted here for a few days, so I checked out the futurology
subreddit and there’s nothing there to direct users here other than a small link
in the sidebar. There was a previous thread on this community (which I don’t see
anymore) noting that most of the users here were from lemmy and not reddit, and
there was a discussion about how to attract more people from reddit. It looks
like you’ve largely given up on that?

>Your instance only knows about users, posts, comments and even communities that
it’s already been “told about”. This is how federation works in general on other
Fediverse softwares too, but specifically on Lemmy it means someone from your
instance needs to be subscribed to a community in order for new posts / comments
to federate. >It is definitely a big downside for a lot of people, yes. I’ve
seen various discussions among server admins of how to handle it, I think some
use a bot to basically sub to everything as a workaround to populate the All
feed without real users being subscribed. If your server has a meta community
maybe you can ask around there whether they’re planning on anything like that?
Why do user profiles have different content/history depending on which instance you view them from? And possible bug with searching

Futurology.today blocks fewer instances (and is blocked by fewer) than
lemmy.world https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
[https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances] so it can’t be that. ###
Search: I tried to search this community before posting and when I go to
https://futurology.today/c/[email protected] [/c/[email protected]]
[https://futurology.today/c/[email protected]] then click the search icon in
the top right, it loads a search page https://futurology.today/search
[https://futurology.today/search] that is searching the whole fediverse. So I
click on “community -> all” and type in “fediverse” then click on this
community, and it takes me to
https://futurology.today/search?type=All&listingType=All&communityId=70&page=1&sort=TopAll
[https://futurology.today/search?type=All&listingType=All&communityId=70&page=1&sort=TopAll].
I see “&communityId=70” in the URL but the page still says it’s searching the
whole fediverse. Are either of these bugs that I should report on github? If I
do a search from
https://futurology.today/search?type=All&listingType=All&communityId=70&page=1&sort=TopAll
[https://futurology.today/search?type=All&listingType=All&communityId=70&page=1&sort=TopAll]
it does only search this community. But if I use the first link it doesn’t.
I’m curious why this was downvoted. People don’t like the old.reddit UI?
Please add Mlmym.org old.reddit UI - Futurology Today
https://mlmym.org/ [https://mlmym.org/] Example of it built-in via
old.lemmy.world https://old.lemmy.world/post/1941511
[https://old.lemmy.world/post/1941511] There’s also phpBB for Lemmy
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB] if
anyone’s interested.
