Comment on We should have something like federated communities
JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 year ago
You can already view a community from any instance. Just subscribe to communities you want. Support more and smaller instances of you want more decentralization. Lemmy.world going down taking out so many communities with it is a problem of too much being hosted there. Everything you’re describing basically already exists. It would be very silly to force communities to merge with other ones. Just because they have the same name doesn’t mean they have the same rules.

OP didn’t say force. OP specifically said allow.

But then you have all the same federation politics and drama at the community level like we do at the instance level. It’d be such a mess.
