Consolidation is a big requested feature. Well, we can do that today with bots. Instead of Reddit-reposting bots, lets use Lemmy-bots to repost and consolidate Lemmy communities together.
EDIT: The community will need to be moderator only, the bot should be a moderator. Posts/comments should be mapped to the original topic. I think the only feature needed from Lemmy-developers is some way to globally link to a topic? But we can kind of work around that issue by making a consolidation-bot / consolidation-community be server-specific?
but if the communities all crosspost into each other then they will be able to read posts from all of them in one location. Theres just 5 options to do so
for copying comment text into one unified comment section without needing to click on the relative links that can quickly become a right to erasure nightmare
Hmmm, might as well experiment and see which works out better. I’m not quite convinced that your way is better yet, but I do see some advantages.
In any case, the problem to be solved is consolidation. Seems like multiple solutions are possible.
