A lot of communities fracture due to bad mods.
Grouping them all together kinda undoes that and become a clusterfuck.
Grouping them wouldn’t mean merging them. For a lack of better terms a Group (multi-Reddit) would allow each indexed community to retain its independence.
But I do see your point about bad mods. Leaving a rotten community in the index has the potential of making the group look bad. However, that’s where the beauty of federation comes into play where users can unsubscribe from those undesirable communities from the larger group.
Affiliations? We've had those since the 90s, every fandom forum had its dedicated section for affiliates.
The people thinking solutions for these fediverse problems really need to sit back and look at the internet of the 80s and 90s. Webrings, affiliations, gopher, fanlistings, FTP, much of the problems we "seem" to have were already solved long ago.
