I think in the long term we end up with a situation where there is a main community where most of stuff happenes.

Reddit used to have a "main" subreddit years ago and they eventually got rid of it to get people to use the rest of the site.
@Hypersapien @istdaslol what happened to it?
It was years ago. They might have deleted it or hidden it.
Would the tags you are talking about be similar to tagging Bookmarks in your web browser where you add the tag "Video" and websites like Netflix or Youtube come up after you add them to that group or suggested tags similar to Steam where it shows the most commonly people essentially vote for the relevancy of tags?
Basically tagging on an individual local level or a community drive Lemmy-wide level
Tags like gaming, memes, regional, sports, philosophy, food, entertainment.
The difference betweenthis and bookmark folders is they could have multiple tags. A community for D&D memes would have like Gaming, TTRPG, DnD, Memes.
And the server would have a page where you can see all the tags used on the server. You click on one and you see all the communities on the server that have that tag.
The tags would be determined by the community creator.
I was commenting on another post about a "multi-rexxit" type of thing for grouping similar communities together that would work quite well.
I'm not sure a collection that one person is in charge of maintaining is the best way to go. Communities organizing themselves into some kind of structure seems more in keeping with the spirit of the fediverse.
I couldn't agree more. My point wasn't super clear upon read through. I meant users can create their own groups to organize things for themselves. I guess they can share these collections of the want is there but it's mostly just an organizational thing per user in my mind. Like multireddits if you've ever used them.
See my description of how the tags would work below for more details
I like the idea of that. So basically it's be a community driven tag system with local user customization to further narrow down your tagged sections?
I wasn't thinking of user customization, but if they can make it work, sure.
That could also be a feature of any apps that get made as well. This could be the easiest route for the user customization side.
