Ah that's cool, so it's like hackernews, with no sub system.

Interesting about the federated instances, I wonder how easy those are to set up?

The monosub will be useful when the website is small and has a good community. But the problem, imo, is if some other community comes in as reddit refugees or whatever and takes over the place, then the monosub becomes a monocommunity that drowns out other types of content. Maybe it won't happen, but I wonder how they would deal with such a problem if it arose.

Thanks for sharing and for making good use of this sub!

I think it's not easy to set up right now.

But something I never understood is when a tag can't replace a sub ? I mean, a sub is different from a tag just by adding some CSS and add a join button. Reddit at some time had a tag system right ? But very misused.

For us it would be extremely easy to make another site.

I'm not sure what benefits a tagging system would bring over a sub system? Especially after we implement a crossposting system to group the comments from different subs together for the same link
