I’ve been on Lemmy for 10 days now and I really enjoy it. The federation is really cool, but compared to Reddit it does have a downside: fragmentation of communities.
I think it would be really cool to be able to combine the feeds of the community Random_topic@example_instance_1 with Random_topic@example_instance_2 etc.
This could work well for reading, but I realize that posting is more difficult. So when posting you should be able to choose on what instance you want to post to the Random_topic ‘community group’.
What do you think?
You must log in or register to comment.
I think a voluntary sync between instances/communities is the next step. I think you’re proposing a client-side solution, which would be helpful, but a back-end solution that allows instances (or at least communities) to sync everything will be a better experience, and help prevent one instance from “owning” too much of the traffic.
