Interesting, I wonder how they’ll handle communities being decentralized.
Communities themselves are not really decentralized, are they?
Kind of, in the sense that once populations booms, there could be many communities covering the same topic. Which has both upsides and downsides.
Since I've joined lemmy, I've been thinking about some kind of "community merging" feature.
A "meta community" would be able to "follow" other communities across the fediverse and posts from followed communities would show up in the "meta community's" feed. Posts from followed communities would remain on their original instances, or they could be duplicated to the meta community's instance.
There are a lot of details to work out, but I think this would add a lot more usability to lemmy and the fediverse as a whole
