I’ve been on Lemmy for 10 days now and I really enjoy it. The federation is really cool, but compared to Reddit it does have a downside: fragmentation of communities.

I think it would be really cool to be able to combine the feeds of the community Random_topic@example_instance_1 with Random_topic@example_instance_2 etc.

This could work well for reading, but I realize that posting is more difficult. So when posting you should be able to choose on what instance you want to post to the Random_topic ‘community group’.

What do you think?

    Something like the multireddit function then, maybe? Custom feeds where you can add any communities that you want (doesn’t even have to be the same topic).

    I don’t think it makes sense to combine the feeds at a federation level (which I think is what you’re talking about, but correct me if I’m wrong).

    No I was thinking about a client side solution. I don’t even know what multireddit is but it sounds like that is what I meant. Though since MentallyExhausted@reddthat.com mentioned it, syncing of communities between instances could also be a cool idea.
