Over the past few days, I've witnessed a remarkable surge in the number of communities on browse.feddit.de. What started with 2k communities quickly grew to 4k, and now it has reached an astonishing 8k. While this exponential growth signifies a thriving platform, it also brings forth challenges such as increased fragmentation and the emergence of echo chambers. To tackle these issues, I propose the implementation of a Cross-Instance Automatic Multireddit feature within Lemmy. This feature aims to consolidate posts from communities with similar topics across all federated instances into a centralized location. By doing so, we can mitigate community fragmentation, counter the formation of echo chambers, and ultimately foster stronger community engagement. I welcome any insights or recommendations regarding the optimal implementation of this feature to ensure its effectiveness and success.

Why not for local communities, you still display / require the local @instance name after the community name.

So /c/foo on Lemmy.world even when I am on that instance is still displayed as

foo@lemmy.world

Whereas if I search for or subscribe to โ€œfooโ€ by itself it displays content from the โ€œfooโ€ communities from all federated instances?

Some way to search other instances without knowing their name like that would be great.

It would be really nice if the search showed all results from federated communities instead of just the ones members are already subbed to
