I’m not sure either. I think arch used to be one of the less popular distros (because of the more involved install process, solved now by the arch-based distros with friendly installers), despite having some of the best features, so it required more “evangelism”, that’s unecessary now. Arch-based distros are now some of the most popular ones, so its not necessary.
Others have commented on why its so great, but the AUR + Rolling releases + stability means that arch is one of the “stable end states”. You might hop around a lot, but its one of the ones you end up landing on, and have no reason to change from.

In that case flatpak is basically a hack for OS’s with broken or improper dependency manangement systems. Either those OS’s should fix their broken systems, or ppl should move to OS’s that do it properly, as that’s one of the most important functions of your OS anyway.
Which ones? Everything in the arch main repos are compiled for your system, and most things in the AUR can either be built from source, or have -bin installs.
Can someone explain why flatpak isn’t necessary for distros that have proper OS dependency management like Arch-based distros or Nix?
Seems like flatpak is solving a problem for OS’s that don’t have proper dependency management.
Why, it’s totally unnecessary.

Ya we have to deal with so many vote bots, dead account voters, and vote spying tools now from some instances, that it’s genuinely going to be one of the biggest challenges on the fediverse in the future.
If some special interests set up shop on the fediverse, and upvote their content with a lot of fake accounts, or downvote others views they don’t want popularized, without a way to combat it while still preserving overall vote privacy, we’ll be in bad shape.
“The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence. The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves…The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen.”
British state media is absolute trash. Everything that comes out of it should be considered false before proven otherwise by a reputable source.

Essentially multi-communities are a federated item very similar to communities, that federated users can subscribe to. They have an id, a creator, name, description, and a list of communities. If you subscribe to it, your instance will pick up any changes to it. You can then get a list of posts filtered by that multi-community.
Here are the new endpoints:
- https://join-lemmy.org/api/main#tag/Post/operation/GetPosts
- Not new, but you can now filter by a multi-community
