Is it possible to automatically subscribe to all (federated) communities with the same name?
Example in the screenshot: I want to follow !astronomy, and I don’t really care whether the content is coming from from Lemmy.World, kbin.social and mander.xyz - I just want to see it all.
Obviously I could manually subscribe to them all, but is it possible to do so automatically? Ideally if a new similar community pops up on another instance, I wouldn’t miss it.
I read here that community grouping is a thing, so that instances with identical communities can work together. Is that a feature that could work towards this end?
Yeah, no reason the two paradigms can’t coexist, but the “we want a new reddit” one should at least be considered. Not my call, ultimately, and I’m happy to be patient, as even if the vast universe of “healthy” niche communities on reddit never quite coalesces here, it the threadiverse is already viable as a big-c “Community” and a small percentage of redditors landing here could be a game-changer without attracting too much attention.
