For the unaware, is a alternative to platforms such as Reddit and Tildes.
I've been using Lemmy as one of my main social platforms for the past 6 months...
Oh, I did not get that. That’s an interesting idea. Would still need to solve the ‘where’ do I post (which for many seems to also mean ‘to what Instance do I belong’), and then how do one moderate content from various communities, from posters that may or may not adhere to one’s own rules. It won’t be obvious but I would be more than willing to see something like being experimented, even if it’s to decide it’s too complex, it seems worth at least an attempt, imho.
Proposal 3 makes that a non-issue. If pancakes@a.com and pancakes@b.com follow each other, a user can post to either community and their post will show up on both communities, with a shared comments section.
I don’t foresee significant moderation challenges, but if any unresolvable issues did come up, communities could simply unfollow each other and go back to being separate communities.
Well, merging communities means trying to reduce the number of alternative communities on the same topic, or did I miss something?
But, like I said, I’m not saying it is not doable. I’m only sharing how I felt reading the OP post.
No, that’s Proposal 1. Proposal 3 means retaining a number of alternative communities on the same topic while syncing posts and comments between them.
