As lemmy grows organically, there will be continuous increases in duplicate communities. This poses a long-term problem because I don't think most people want to subscribe to half a dozen or more communities that are essentially the same.

Is there any chance that the thought leaders of Lemmy which probably includes the largest servers owners could come together and start proposing ideas?

I see a potential troubling issue with the idea in terms of combining the existing history of the duplicates communities.

Perhaps a new concept of community@global could be thought through.

Your biggest issue is moderation and control, that will end up with the same problems as any centralized system. Your better off with smart searches and personal algorithms to help deal with dupes.
