  • In my opinion, we need to somehow solve the community centralization issue first. MultiCommunities, or some way to aggregate the dozens of large-ish groups like “news, technology, etc” and be able to subscribe to all of them in one fell swoop would allow people to spread out to other instances much more reliably.

    I’ve brought this up as a suggestion elsewhere. People seem annoyed at the lemmy vs kbin idea of “communities vs magazines”. Maybe everything is changed to “communities” and “magazines” are officially adopted as community-maintained mega-lists of common communities.

    An example. There’s a bunch of car manufacturers. Sure, maybe I could just select the “Honda” community on every instance I can find, or instead I subscribe to the magazine called “Honda” which auto-subscribes me to every single Honda community in the list… or even the magazine called “Cars” which would include all manufacturers and cars communities.

    Then there could be a Magazine view for that Magazine which would allow all posts from those communities to be aggregated in one place.

    Just spitballing ideas.
