We should have something like federated communities (merv.news)

Communities on different instances about the same topic should have the option to essentially federate so a post on one appears on all of them and opening any of them shows you the comments from all of them. This way when lemmy.world is down its not a big deal because posting to any news community federates to all of the communities instead of barely having people see your post. Federation could be decided by the community mods and the comments can have a little “/c/[email protected]” on it so you know which community the comment was originally posted on.

This was the idea behind MultiReddits if I'm not mistaken. In which case a simple operator like:

[email protected][email protected]

Could get baked into the Lemmy core to allow this to work.

I asked the Lemmy devs about multi-reddits type subscribing and they said that it's on their list but they need help developing it because they have a huge list. I like the multiereddits way because then the user decides and there isn't extra mods (managers) sprinkled in.

That's the way I think it should work. We could merge different communities with the same topic, or similar topics. Like "Music" from different instances, as well the communities of bands you like.

That's still just two separate communities. Like a filter. That's fine. That's not what OP is suggesting though. What OP is suggesting is much more extreme.

What are MultiReddits and how do they work?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Basically you can see multiple subreddits of your choosing as if they are a single subreddit.

Oh wow, that can be beneficial to some people. Thank you for taking the time to explain

Here's how it's done. You just add a +, then the other subreddit. Now your view has 2 subreddits.
