As lemmy grows organically, there will be continuous increases in duplicate communities. This poses a long-term problem because I don’t think most people want to subscribe to half a dozen or more communities that are essentially the same.
Is there any chance that the thought leaders of Lemmy which probably includes the largest servers owners could come together and start proposing ideas?
I see a potential troubling issue with the idea in terms of combining the existing history of the duplicates communities.
Perhaps a new concept of community@global could be thought through.
This is exactly what I’m hoping to see. On another thread I saw people hoping to narrow it down to one true community for each topic but afaik multis would solve these issues. Instead of just browsing the baseball community you’d browse the baseball multi community. This way we could avoid the issue of giving one instance too much “power” and still have the convenience we crave.
