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!??
You mean like how reddit had mutlireddits? It can probably happen.
yes but I’m talking more of the similar unique named communities, like music on lemmy.world , music on lemmy.ml , kbin.social or any other possible instance lemmy.world is able to federate with can let us see all under one tab kinda thing
i feel this way the fragmentation that would occur in the future anyways or might create doubts for the new or existing users whether which instance is better for xyz community (even knowing the fact they can still federate) can be reduced to a fair extent.
I think this will end up being really useful. For instance you can look at your ‘meme tab’ where you can add any of your meme communities, and see them in one feed.
Sort of like making music playlists, except in this case they’re feeds with whichever communities you want to add to them.
From a programming point this is a UI change that could be implemented now.
please use lemmy_support for support, not asklemmy.
there are several github issues discussing the possibility of combining communities across instances, and/or creating ‘multireddit’ style views:
