Let’s say I have 2 instances that are federated: instanceA and instanceB.
These instances have many communities, and two of them has the same name. The “c/comX”. So there is comX@instanceA and comX@instanceB.
I know that if I have an user in instanceA, I can see content from instanceB in the “All” view of the Lemmy UI. But what if I only want to see the “comX” posts?
I went into the community view for comX in instanceA and could only see posts from that same instance. Is there a way to see posts from a specific community but fetching posts from federated servers with the same community name?
Like a view in which I can see all posts from comX@instanceA and comX@instanceB, and all the other instances with comX that are federated with instanceA too.
Yeha, but it would be nice if I could see content related to a single topic across multiple instances.
Imagine I want to see gaming content across multiple instances, for example. It is not possible with the current way the client works.
This could be solved with custom feeds or enabling federation on the communities with same name.
It would make more sense to configure that manually. You don’t want e.g. a community on one server about Rust the game to be mixed with a community on another server about Rust the programming language.
