What we’re really lacking on the ui end is a way to see groups of identical communities that are on different federated platforms. Hence the idea of a dom-lemmy. The way it would work is lets say you search for a cat community called “cats”, there’s at least dozens of them out there already. Instead it would return the cats dom-lemmy, with the option to either drill down to a specific instance, or to merge all sub-lemmys called cats into a single view
Communities with the same name on different instances aren’t necessarily about the same topic.
Agreed, but I’d like to be able to at least manually group together communities that are related.
/r/superbowl comes to mind.
On that note /c/football would be very different on lemmy.freedom and lemmy.fishnchips
For sure, but it’d be cool to be able to bundle them as an option.
