What we’re really lacking on the ui end is a way to see groups of identical communities that are on different federated platforms. Hence the idea of a dom-lemmy. The way it would work is lets say you search for a cat community called “cats”, there’s at least dozens of them out there already. Instead it would return the cats dom-lemmy, with the option to either drill down to a specific instance, or to merge all sub-lemmys called cats into a single view

    Multi-communities would be a nice feature but I really don’t like people thinking it’s “the solution”.

    Give it a little time, one community for every topic will emerge as the de facto place to go. Same happened on Reddit.

    Besides, multi-communities kinda help browsing but not posting.
