Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Indeed, me too. The Jerboa app isn't a million miles away from RiF
If the content and comments here grow consistently and stay reasonably sane, I could see Lemmy obsoleting reddit.
One thing I wonder about is how much confusion will occur over sub names. On reddit, there's a r/worldnews. In Lemmy there could be hundreds of worldnews@(instance_name). Which is the best one?
Of course name collision happens all the time at reddit (eg worldpolitics/anime-titties) but I wonder how Lemmy will cope with the slightly more complicated and potentially confusing collision domains
I understand the multiple instances, but 100% agree name collisions across instances will be the biggest source of confusion. Will be curious how Lemmy tech stack and communities in general work to make this easy-ish for users.
Is there an example of one that's an issue right now? I think it will probably be fine to have some name conflicts, and the popular ones should bubble up.
It's a valid concern though
