Nah those are like sibling instances. I'm talking about a parent instance that combines all the children instances with a new community that aggregates multiple remote communities.

Just thinking out loud, haven't really fleshed out the idea yet.

That already exists. ATM, the thing you're confusing it with is that there are 4-5 "gaming" subs, but eventually if one gets big enough or the others get taken in by one this will happen, and it'll look like this instance "[email protected]" (p.s. I'm accessing this from Sopuli, so not on Beehaw).

I guess its just a natural progression of being absorbed by other communities that are larger. What I was getting at was a new feature that combines multiple communities into a single one on the backend and presents them as a single one (with interleaved posts/comments from all 5 communities or whatever)

I don't know enough to truly be able to comment, but some others I've seen said that this creates a dozen problems to solve a signular one

Yeah, I think I get it - there's a bunch of smaller gaming@ kind of things, you're talking about a master c/gaming that combines all of the smaller lemmy instances of gaming channels, right?

Yeah, like multireddits!
