    So if I have a successful community, someone on another instance should get to ride on my work and flourish by setting up a community with the same name? This makes no sense.

      Isn’t that one of the side effects of having a federated universe? I don’t feel it’s so much riding your work as it is combining conversations within a single deduped community.

      Also, if nothing is done about it, wouldn’t we keep having issues like this: https://lemmy.ca/post/2821804

        Federated means accessible in a single state. It doesn’t mean zero ownership or control, hence why the dictionary definition mentions internal autonomy.

        Those are spammers. Block them, that’s the only way they’ll learn.

      You’re enjoying the benefits of federation, by having the ability to grow “your” community with people across the fediverse rather than with only the people on the same instance as yours. So that’s the price you have to pay. Also, in the long run, communities will grow naturally based on the quality of the content and not just because they have popular names!
