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?

      It 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 :).

        I am going to say something that is highly uninformed and based on a comment I think I read but, isn’t that what kbin does?

      If there is not already a way to combine communities into a single feed, surely there will be soon.

          I 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.

        There is a multi-reddit issue open on github. As soon as someone actually codes it, it’ll be there.

        I’m trying to learn Rust atm to contribute, but very likely someone will code that up before I’m ready to actually submit pull requests and not be laughed out of the room.

        Yep. It was the same issue as multiple similar subreddits on reddit.
