Seems like it’s even more important here than on reddit. As some communities have multiples on different instances like the aww communities has 3 so far.
Thank
Absolutely. Ideally this would also be implemented on a backend level. An easy way to create multi sublemmies and share and Link to them would make it possible for massive communities to form on and migrate to Lemmy in a sustainable way.
A thousand times yes.
Federation should ideally work not only at a server level, but a community level.
If there’s three different /c/aww communities across different servers, their respective mods should be able to join into a meta-community.
There is the potential for a less moderated child community to end up polluting the meta community, so membership should probably be able to be revoked by majority mod vote.
But aggregating a meta-community across each sub community could allow for a much more seamless growth between servers and avoid the duplication that’s inevitable by putting the onus on the client-side.
Liftoff (Android) has an option to show All from multiple signed on accounts simultaneously. That might be worth checking out.
It’s under active development of course and I did find it in Google Play after searching by name (“Liftoff”) and scrolling down.
That’s a neat feature but not relevant to what I’m asking.
