It would be neat if same-topic communities somehow could somehow merge into a single community view via federation. There are probably some downsides to what I'm considering, but it seems like it could help alleviate fragmentation while allowing the "same" communities to be hosted across multiple instances. If one instance defederated from another, the community posts in that instance would be excluded from the combined view.

Maybe even a simple opt-in/out of a combined view for communities that truly want or need to stand alone. Not sure if this goes against the core concepts of federation or not. It seems like a nice compromise at a glance, if it could be implemented well.

Communities should just consolidate. Happens regularly, the electric vehicle did recently, you can see it on [email protected]
