Is it possible to automatically subscribe to all (federated) communities with the same name?
Example in the screenshot: I want to follow !astronomy, and I don’t really care whether the content is coming from from Lemmy.World, kbin.social and mander.xyz - I just want to see it all.
Obviously I could manually subscribe to them all, but is it possible to do so automatically? Ideally if a new similar community pops up on another instance, I wouldn’t miss it.
I read here that community grouping is a thing, so that instances with identical communities can work together. Is that a feature that could work towards this end?
No, because they are indeed different communities. On reddit there is no way to subscribe to similar communities at once as well.
Yes there was. It was called multi-reddit.
Oh thanks I didn’t know that.
Easily the most requested feature. I guess we’ll see a solution at one point in the future.
Just pick the most popular one. The rest will slowly die.
The website UI shows active users, use that metric.
I heard you only see the subscriber count from the own instance, not all together. So there’s no accurate way to tell which one actually is the most popular.
Subscribers yes. Active users no, that’s total.
My instance has just over 100 users.
This is what I see:
Interesting info, thank you.
