  1. As time goes one community will emerge as the main one while other would dry up and naturally become obsolete (until people get angry with the mods of main one and start looking for alternative community, similar to how there are r/truegaming, r/true(x) etc for popular subreddits.)

  2. There are many open PRs on lemmy github on how to aggregate similar communities. For example there is a suggestion of making an auto multireddit like thing, m/gaming for example, that would merge posts from every c/gaming community (not sure how this would work with defederation and stuff). With enough demand, something like that can be added to lemmy by an experienced dev.

People have been saying the same thing about 1. for years and now things are worse than ever.

How can there be one main community when instances keep defederating?

[–] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 34 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Things like defederation and having communities with the same topic on different instances are actually good things, they're features of the Fediverse not problems.

It takes a bit of adapting to the Fediverse mindset as opposed to the centralized platform mindset but there are solutions:

  • Having multiple communities like OP said is a good thing, let's see which one rises to the top.
  • There are already Lemmy clients that can subscribe to accounts on multiple instances and merge everything seamlessly for you.
  • A multireddit-like feature will probably be implemented eventually, and I suspect it will also be a client feature not a server feature, because it makes much more sense on the client.

Could you explain point two in more detail? I know you said account, but I’m hoping by community might be a feature, where I could subscribe to c/android and it’d maybe fetch all the c/android’s across all fediverse instances?
