It’s a little daunting to me that in some cases there are 2 or more communities between the federated alternatives; what’s the best way to corral these? I had thought I could perhaps subscribe to Lemmy instances on kbin; is that correct? If so, how? Thank you in advance.

Edit: Well, this is sort of embarrassing but when I was searching for the other communities, I was accidentally searching threads instead of magazines and of course not finding anything so that’s the answer as to HOW to subscribe [when it comes to kbin]. My point stands, though, that having so many communities is a bit cumbersome. I guess I will let it percolate a bit and see how it feels.

    That’s what I’ve been hoping will happen - it would be cool for networks to pop up too like how there were for some subreddits.

    Also, if they ever add lists they could work like a “multireddit” to corral all the same type of community into one feed at least on the user-end.

      There is issue #818: Support for grouping communities / multi-communities

      Quoting from this statement of the devs:

      we are seeing lots of requests to implement major new features, such as migration between instances, or combining similar communities. As described above, we are completely overloaded with work, and definitely won’t have time to implement these in the near future. If there is a feature you want to see implemented, you will likely need to work on it yourself, or find someone who can.

        Hopefully someone with the know-how who’s joined up recently will join up cause I don’t know the first thing about it.

        Any way to see what actual stuff they’re working on currently?
