I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
Definitely spending more time here but as the lemmyverse (infact the whole fediverse) grows the duplication of communities among instances would be a headache and might lead to fragmentation. But since being able to federate is the sole reason most of us are here, what if we get a tab or option so an instance can combine all the posts of duplicate named communities with every possible instance it can federate with and show it in one place? I mean yes there might be challenges to achieve that but why not! @[email protected] ??
Sounds good! This can be raised as enhancement request in the LemmyNet GitHub
