For example, I’m on Lemmy.ml and I’ve joined !photography@lemmy.ml, !photography@lemmy.world, and !photography@kbin.social. In this example, it’s not very different from the number of similar groups on Flickr but, in comparison to Reddit, it seems like the decentralized platform can be a little unruly.
How are you going about joining different communities and managing your engagement? Are you only participating on the community on your instance? Are you joining and posting in as many instances that seem relevant?
I have loved the idea of subbing to hashtags since PhotoVine and wish desperately that this was a universally employed function of all social media platforms. I think Tumblr is the only other platform that has this as a built-in feature now. Ice Cubes just added a make-shift function to create a list of hashtags their Mastodon client (possibly by my request).
