This is probably the wrong place for this, but is there any intention to have something like super communities, where the same community exists on multiple instances but is treated like just one?

Ie, if you sub to asklemmy on world, you see content from whatever other servers have asklemmy.

    Considering all the limitations, and the hyper-fragmented nature of the Fediverse, maybe it’d be worth adding a feature to “redirect” or “symbolically link” communities. For example, dota@nicheinstance.com would just open dota@lemmy.world (possibly with a notification banner or similar to clairify). Throw in some extra tools to improve moderation across instances and you’d have 90% of the benifit of “super-communities” without the complexity.

    I know you can do this by just making a locked community with a post describing this, but its a very clunky solution, and given how fragmented the Fediverse is, and how unlikely that is to change (given the structure) it might be worth having a dedicated method.
