We should implement this as whenever I wish to browse (for example) [email protected] I have to go to there, and whenever I wish to browse [email protected] I have to go there. Would it be possible to implement it in kbin/lemmy’s code to make it easier to browse all?

    This feature shouldn’t be implemented on the server side or decided by the front end code, as the developers would have to decide which “same names” to merge. It’s the end user who should pick that.

    It would better be a front end/app feature: The end user would pick communities from multiple servers (even ones with different names), and group them under whatever name/category they want. The front end would then show all posts/comments from that group as they were from a single community.

    Additional feature: Automatically merge comments from cross-posts.

      Yeah this would be great. Even user defined ‘multi-communities’ would be great for putting all my gaming, news or meme related communities into one scrollable page.
