I guess chances for duplicate communities are higher on federated services, but I hope you're right. And even that shouldn't be a problem once we get multi subreddits, or the equivalent of it.
Yeah, ran into this for baseball communities, its tough to gain some critical mass to compete with an r/baseball if they remain splintered
My ideal scenario would be multi communities. create a multi community, tied to your user account. you can then add any community from any fediverse account or community.
So in essence you would a multi community called baseball. In it are posts from [email protected] [email protected] and mastodon posts from @[email protected]
Either browser each multi community separately or even build a frontpage consisting of all multi communities.
I might open a feature request for this......
This is exactly what I'm hoping to see. On another thread I saw people hoping to narrow it down to one true community for each topic but afaik multis would solve these issues. Instead of just browsing the baseball community you'd browse the baseball multi community. This way we could avoid the issue of giving one instance too much "power" and still have the convenience we crave.
