Excellent point!

Checking in from the city of "hey this is your landlord, we need to raise the rent 25%" - a real thing that just happened to me.
I'm new too, but here's what I've learned in the last week:
You're a user of and logged into @beehaw.org. This post (and the community it was posted to) exists on the @lemmy.world instance. You can see and post to it from your beehaw.org instance, because @lemmy.world also exists in the Fediverse.
My instance is @lemmy.world, so this community/post is "local" to my instance, but in practice that's not super important. All that tells you is where I enter the fediverse, from there we're able to see and post in communities from across instances. For example, I can see communities/posts from @beehaw.org, where you are. I am subbed to a few communities there.
It's possible that a community like /c/games exists on @beehaw.org and on @lemmy.world. You would see them as [email protected] and [email protected], and they are separate communities (despite having the same community name) so you can sub to one or both. OP is basically suggesting a feature to group (for example) [email protected] and [email protected] so that it just looks like one big community.
More experienced Lemmy and Fediversers, please correct any errors I may have made it this post!
mlem is off to a great start for such a young app! Be keen to see how quickly it's developed, there's a few UX and site features that would go a long way. I hope it takes off.
undefined> subreddit subscriptions’ parallels
But for example, /c/chatgpt community on infosec.pub instance might have different conversations to other /c/chatgpt communities on other instances, as (I presume) there's a lot of industry/tech/infosec heads on that instance. So someone looking for a community can see them all and decide if what instance's community right for them.
Whereas on Reddit, there can be only one /r/chatgpt, so you have to find adjacent subreddits.
He’s saying “we don’t need to listen to the community, they’ll get over it”. Again, completely tone deaf.
Yeah I just read that news and thought of this comment trail! My description did not age well.
Hopefully this is just due to sudden and rapid uptake of users to the fediverse and not something that happens regular once things have settled down a little.
