The ability to merge/join communities across instances. Right now, there’s lots of duplicated communities - which isn’t a big problem, but I feel that it’ll hinder adoption as it fragments the audience for a given topic.
Edit: also worth saying that it seems like that the if the instance hosting a community goes away, so does the community.
I was concerned about this but I’ve made peace with it. It’s just the nature of the fediverse.
Basically people just need to subscribe to all of them, which is the natural response to seeing multiple communities with the same name.
I’m concerned that linking communities might be an attempt to make lemmy emulate something that it’s not.
I haven’t really thought this through but an alternative would be groups of communities. Like one click to subscribe to a curated group of all the /c/selfhosted communities.
