One of the biggest issues I'm having trouble getting past with Lemmy is not knowing which communities to subscribe to.

An example, if there are like 10+ different communities for "technology", do I really have to subscribe to all of them just to get the same experience I would have gotten on /r/technology?

Is there a way to "clump" these communities together so I can just subscribe to one "multi-community" that houses the posts from all of them?

Ive commented on this before. I call it towns. A town has multiple communites. Its basically a multireddit but work with me here.

Towns are tied to your account on your instance. Its only use is to group communities to be easier to read.

but why not... Lemmons?> l

Also the lemmons should be able to be set for public search for the lemmy admins so if you search 'tech' you find the general community lemmons. User lemmons should be visible looking at the user if they're set to public.

Clearly there's one problem with "lemmons," you'd always have to be on the lookout for The Lemmon-Stealing Horse!
