What are you guys doing when there's multiple communities for the same thing across instances?
What are you guys doing when there's multiple communities for the same thing across instances?
For example, I want to join a Today I learned community but when I search for it, I come across 4 of them on different instances.
What do you guys do when you see this? Join the one with the most users, join all of them?
You're viewing a single thread.
Sub to all of them and wait for all but one to die out.
39 0 ReplyIt would be nice if there were an app or plugin that would aggregate them into one heading or folder. So that on the user end all of the Gaming@ Lemmy.lm Gaming@ Beehaw, etc etc just show up under #Gaming on the users end. It would also improve the longevity of the smaller ones since we can already post across instances.
That said I'm an idiot and not even remotely sure how that would get set up :).

If there is not already a way to combine communities into a single feed, surely there will be soon.
10 0 ReplyI feel like the challenge with that is that is going to be moderation. (well, the challenge is always with moderation)
4 0 ReplyI mean every community moderates itself, if you don't like what one of them does, you cut it out of your feed.
It sounds exciting, imagine if mods would have to compete for shares of a topic instead of a group gatekeeping a big community.

I just sub to the most popular one assuming it'll be the one to win out.
