Federation is pretty cool (lemmy.ubergeek77.chat)

I noticed my feed on Lemmy was pretty dry today, even for Lemmy. Took me a while to realize lemmy.ml has been going up and down all morning, and isn't federating new posts.

But, since this is all still federated, I can still create and read posts on other instances while I wait. Even this one! Any other service would just be unavailable completely right now.

I do miss the larger communities on lemmy.ml - asklemmy, memes, and I really wanted to watch the reddit fallout on /c/reddit. Maybe I'll look around for some good replacements for those. Open to suggestions!

It'd be cool if there was some mechanism where Community A could follow Community B, so that all posts from Community B automatically show up in A. This way, you could also aggregate communities with different names, create multiple custom front pages etc.

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of fragmentation in communities already. Maybe things will congeal into a few larger communities where necessary, but I think being able to share community content like that would be cool.

Or maybe if not following all the posts, ways of making it easier to cross post between communities. I enjoyed how crossposting worked on reddit, because I could read the comments of the crosspost, then zip on over to where it was originally posted to get a different take.
