I only found firefish the other day but 'like Mastodon but cool" is a perfect way to describe it.

I think it would be better to use the existing lemmy.ml community. You don’t need to be on lemmy.ml to access it from world. Also it would help reduce the number of communities crammed into world, which is already overloaded with communities and users.

Considering this user made an account on lemmy.ml to post this, and the community in world was made by the same user with a world account, maybe they don’t understand the federation aspect correctly. It seems to happen a lot, and it’s frustrating because it leads to one huge instance in lemmy.world.

I wouldn’t say this is world news. It’s barely even US national news tbh. It would be very appropriate in the midwest.social instance though if you haven’t put it there.

I wouldn’t say ‘often’ implies >50%, to imply that I would use something like ‘mostly’ or ‘generally’. I think if you think about a 15% failure rate in something else, for example starting a car, saying it often fails would be pretty apt.
