I would LOVE something like multireddits on Lemmy. I actually do not like the idea of default subscriptions (unless it's optional), but making custom multis is something that I'd really love to have on here.
A toggle in the signup process, checked by default, which says "subscribe me to default communities" wouldn't be too bad a compromise.
This suggestion is intended to streamline things for the average user. People who do not care about ideology, ethos, what's problematic or not, and just want to sign up and see stuff and immediately get involved in basic discussion.
Unfortunately as is the reality of UX, opt in functions are rarely used.
Presented is not the same as actually used by users. You are not the average user, nor am I.
This would be excellent. Even a non-general interest instance could probably benefit from having the local instance news on it's default list. Kind of useful to know when updates are scheduled.
Definitely something instance owners could define, but a specific list is not something I think needs to be defined at the code level.
