Trouble is unless that aggregate name has some kind of maintainer or moderator, anybody could just make a community and troll the aggregate name with irrelevant posts and upvote it themselves to make them pop up to the top. I mean, I don't know why you would but when they know they have access to tens of thousands people and can ruin their experience, some people just do. And if it does have a global maintainer, well, they have a lot of power. I like the aggregate idea, and actually so do the Lemmy Devs, but I think that it shouldnt be global. Each instance can maintain one, people can subscribe even from other instances, but I'd be wary of anything that concentrates users into a single entry point because that then becomes a vector for attack.
