I am having trouble finding a pseudo-curated feed of posts in Lemmy. What is a good starting point, the “front page”, as it is r/all for reddit?

    It would be very interesting (I’m brand new to “federation”) if sub-sites that share a name could be aggregated, but who would be allowed to moderate it, and how would unaffiliated subs be disentangled? Maybe this could be an easily accessible user option, and to each their own collection of sub pages?

    Also what about slightly different names with the same theme, tech and technology? I’m interested to see what comes of these questions.

      I’ve been thinking about this.

      I am thinking essentially the solution is the equivalent of multi reddits. In the UI, either from the user perspective, or the server admin perspective, you can setup communities that are just aggregations of different communities.

      Then a user can choose to browse /c/cats which is actually just /c/cats from lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc as one feed.

        I’m very curious what the viewer applications will look like for this site. I feel it will need to be very open source due to managing the larger number of user names one potentially has to make. It currently feels like there will be a lot of aggregation put on the user, and I personally look forward to the higher amount of customization.

        When Reddit made it so everyone could have access to their full list of subscribed sub Reddits, rather than just premium users, it made the site a much more enjoyable experience. I hope Lemmy app developers take that improvement and run with it.
