I use Boost as my go-to, but as I’m starting to post more and more I’m starting to notice its minor flaws when it comes to heavy posting.

Is there a Lemmy app that has more of a focus on posting features? Like maybe one that allows you to select multiple communities to post to or a more robust text editor etc.

    Board games, here you’d think the feddit.de would be good with 2K subscribers, but it hasn’t been active for months and also the .de makes me think they may or may not enjoy “English content” so that leaves yet another .world comm at just shy of 1k and a smattering of smaller instances/comms

    I’m sorry to inform you, but feddit.de has been down for around 6 months: http://feddit.de/

    You are basically posting to a LW only version of that community, nobody else is seeing it. The replacement is !boardgames@sopuli.xyz which is more active than the LW version.

    Linux is on my list of monitored .ml comms so my decision to funnel Linux content is given more weight based on which one I consider to have the best chance of “dethroning” the relevant .ml version. Same thing with !linux_gaming@lemmy.world vs .ml’s linux_gaming

    Interesting, for me an additional consideration is to decentralize from LW as well, which is why I favor !linux@programming.dev

      Ah that explains everything lol good thing I also posted to the sopuli version, it’d be nice if there was a warning banner that said you’re viewing a local/cached version and upstream is offline or something lol

      Yea, my process does need refinement especially in regards to the Linux comm specifically since @programming.dev is within striking distance of LW as well and centralization of LW is starting to become of increasing concern to me after the events of 196 the past few days.

      But that’s also why I was hoping for a multi-post app of some sort, it would be loads easier IMO to “community balance” content like that

        You should maybe make a post there to point people to the sopuli one

        One issue is that by keeping both communities active you’re not encouraging people to move to all converge on one. Posts can be duplicated but discussions won’t

          True, but I don’t have any good answers for that either, because then any instance is at risk of becoming the “next LW” and we’d just be right back at square 1

          The Fediverse also isn’t all interconnected so someone on instance A that’s defed’d from instance C but not instance B wouldn’t be able to see content on C (as we all know). But if “multi-posting” was a thing then someone else fed’d with B and C posting the same content to “duplicate” comms on each ensures everyone gets to see it even if the discussions are split

            We really have a long way to go before worrying about that: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active

            I usually use lemm.ee due to how federated it is with everyone. Dbzer0 and Programming.dev aren’t defederated by a lot of instances either. The bigger issues are usually LW and SJW, but I usually don’t post to communities there
