Let's say I have 2 instances that are federated: instanceA and instanceB.

These instances have many communities, and two of them has the same name. The "c/comX". So there is comX@instanceA and comX@instanceB.

I know that if I have an user in instanceA, I can see content from instanceB in the "All" view of the Lemmy UI. But what if I only want to see the "comX" posts?

I went into the community view for comX in instanceA and could only see posts from that same instance. Is there a way to see posts from a specific community but fetching posts from federated servers with the same community name?

Like a view in which I can see all posts from comX@instanceA and comX@instanceB, and all the other instances with comX that are federated with instanceA too.

When a user on instance A has subscribed to a community C@B on instance B, posts in that community will be available on instance A. However, C@B and C@A are separate communities even if they have the same name "C".
