I think a community needs to add the option of a topic hashtag, so communities can group together in that way if they want to, and people can subscribe to these hashtags if they want to (with the ability to remove single instances of they want to)
The theme here is "if they want to" giving choice to both the communities and the subscribers
I think this would be the best, but it will probably be a choice of each community moderator not the users.
Agree, would be a great mix!
That's a good idea - I just suggested on another comment that the mods of similar communities might (optionally) agree to include links to each other in the sidebar, but a tagging system might be better, especially if there were dozens of communities on the same topic.
That said, might tagging also lead to spamming if people misused the tags? I'm not sure, just a vague idea.
I was thinking to combat spam, either the federation could use an instance block, or the user could have a block all from instance option
Communities are sort of already hashtags when using the microblog post type. Seems like an interesting approach.
