Thank you for clarifying!
What do you think about the idea in the OP about switching to a DM, potentially in coordination with the instance admins to only reach subscribers?
From a programming perspective it doesn't make a difference, it's technically simpler sending a DM. The bigger question is how lemmy at large views this method. The [email protected] users might have been an outlier, it seems like a divisive topic based on how some people reacted.
I see.
The football community was probably much smaller, so people didn't mind getting notified
I think by nature if you're not interested in football you won't ever comment on post there, so the amount of false positives in terms of subscribers were likely very low compared to a TV community that sees more c/all engagement.
Agreed
