MODERATORS
Ability for a user to place communities they find into a catagory/multi-lemmy that they can scroll. (Like a multi-reddit)
That way the fragmented communities all of the same subject spread across all the instances can be grouped together by the user.
User creats an awww multireddit/catagory or whatever and inside it they put [email protected], and [email protected], and [email protected].
Keeps things decentralized on the back end but ties things together for the user.
Maybe... we can call them Cities...? You know... since it's made up of a bunch of communities?
Being able to see a list of all the communities of an instance, without having to actually go to that instance.
Then being able to add whichever community from there with a simple button click.
E.g. I'm on lemmy.one, I can go to lemmy.one/communities to see all the local communities. Now I'd like to go to lemmy.one/[email protected] or similar, to see a complete list of lemm.ml's instances. Then, when I click "subscribe" next to e.g. "Comics" there, the community should be added to lemmy.one if it isn't already and subscribe me that way.
Also links to communities should automatically be changed to local links. lemmy.ml/c/Comics would become lemmy.one/c/[email protected] If it doesn't already exist on the local instance, clicking on it should not display a 404, but a message that it is being added and available soon.
It's a pain in the ass to go to each instance, copy the URL of each community and then pasting it to the search of my local one. Then wait for it to be indexed and finally being able to subscribe.
