sh.itjust.works Main Community

Yeah, I was in a mood when they shut off sync right in the middle of my technobable rant on r/startrek so the first thing I did here was try to find the Star Trek community and found 12 of them but not much discussion going on, eventually found one post but it made me realize how compartmentalized this very open client is. But if a user can see all other communities outside the instance why not just dump everything into one stream like a subreddit while hosting the discussions back to the posters instance. It's still decentralized, but I feel as if it would be a way to cut down on reposts. Say someone on aww @what.eve.rthefuck sees a cute picture and reposts it 12 times to other aww@boobook.ittyshit (among others) it would be quite obvious who is spamming repost content within the same community. I just feel like conversations here could be much more available than they currently are

I think the idea would be that communities could have tags, and subscribing to a tag would subscribe to all communities with that tag and from there you could still remove any you don't want. This would also help with search and discoverability.
