I agree that this is a useful property of Lemmy once things get going but I think right now what we need if Lemmy is supposed to be a going concern is a less fractured landscape so people can actually find the content they are looking for. Some kind of global directory might be really useful there, just to make sure people interested in similar things can find each other.
The easiest to search directory I've found is https://browse.feddit.de/ (although I don't think that picks up Kbin). A directory doesn't need to be centralised, it just needs someone to make a good one. I think what will naturally happen is one or two communities for a topic will become prominent and will emerge as the obvious place to go, and I think it's best to let that happen organically.
I'm partial to lemmyverse.net myself. I don't doubt the need for more discoverability, but I think recentralizing things is not in the right spirit.
