[Feature tracking] Multicommunities / multimagazines
(sopuli.xyz)
To discuss how to grow and manage communities / magazines on Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed and Sublinks
IMHO this should be opt-in for communities and not left to the users alone.
The amount of low quality drive-by comments by people not understanding what a community is about and just sorting them in the broadest of categories like "technology" is bad enough as it is (and causes a lot of extra workload for community moderators).
Opt in for communities to self group as one single feed they can advertise without duplication? Sure.
Prevent people from being able to group them however they see fit in their own feeds? Definitely not.
I really like the idea about grouped communities with deduplication
I'm not sure exactly how you'd handle merging comment streams or where you'd direct new comments, so that could be a complicating factor, but I definitely see a lot of overlap of articles.
