Not sure if I understand this, but I think the way the lemmy federation works is:

  • there are multiple servers in the federation (for example, lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, lemmy.whatever, etc.)

  • each server can have multiple communities, which are like subreddits

  • so, for example, each server can have its own community for photography.

Q1: is my summary correct?

Q2: is there a way to subscribe to multiple related communities across different servers and “merge” those communities into a single view? so that I don’t have to click on each separate one? edit: for example, if there are 3 servers that each have a photography community, can I merge them into a single “photography” view?

Sorry if this is a silly question (or if the answer is obvious).

    I don’t feel like the linked feature exactly describes a multi-reddit function, this feature is more about tagging and categorisation of communities into groups for new user discovery purposes. It’s not clear whether users will be able to create their own categories and add their own tagged communities into user managed views.
