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.
I never tried Boost, but I like Voyager. I still mostly use the Web UI though.
Can’t help unfortunately, I do most of my posting on the web UI, be it on desktop or mobile.
I don’t know one off the top of my head that has posting in multiple communities, but that would be a really interesting feature!
posting in multiple communities
I missed that part, that’s interesting. How often do people post to multiple communities? I thought that community consolidation had happened more or less everywhere, and that parallel communities existed due to different populations or approaches on a topic
I think on the bigger instances there’s decent consolidation, but there are still lots of small communities on small instances where there’s no “clear winner” for me to choose from and rather slow so for those I think cross posting between them is ideal

Any example of those?
While we are talking, I noticed you preferred !linux@lemmy.world vs !linux@programming.dev, any reason why?
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

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

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.

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
