it’d basically solve the issue of duplicate communities too
There’s no “issue” with duplicate communities. There’s an issue with Reddit users wanting there to be a single canonical home for a topic on a local-first distributed network of websites.
This isn’t Reddit. This isn’t like Reddit. It doesn’t operate like Reddit. It just kinda looks like Reddit. And maybe it shouldn’t, because it anchors people’s expectations and prevents them from embracing something truly new and different.
I’ve used lemmy exclusively for almost 1.5 years and I still think the duplicate communities thing could be better, lemmy is small so we might as well maximise the amount of content accessible.
I don’t want all of them to merge, I just think it should be easier for people to subscribe to all of the communities about similar topics
something like this:

but for lemmy would be nice
