This post assumes you have a basic understanding of what Lemmy and Kbin are. Which, in turn, assumes you understand at least the concept of federation.
The Issue Currently, the way Lemmy/Kbin (which I will refer to simply as “Lemmy” for the rest of this article) work like this:
Cool, so our user can access content from both instances. They go to Instance #1 to talk about transporation, and Instance #2 to talk about animals.
I’ve been thinking of and experiencing the community duplicates, finding multiple communities with the same name and being unsure which to pick. I usually end up picking one with most users and/or content but there’s always doubt, am I picking the best one?
I really like the idea of posting to tags and the tag gets aggregated across instances and you can view all the posts. I don’t know enough about the fediverse yet to know if this is a good idea or possible even. But I’d definitely like some sort of transition to having easier to access content and more ease in finding new topics/communities/tags.
Thanks for this post.
