Why haven't multi-communities been added to Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

A multi-community would be all communities with a certain name, across all instances. It would prevent powermods from being a problem on Lemmy. i think it should be notated with m/, just like communities but with m instead of c.

Use case? Just wanting to group together certain topics. Grouping together all the duplicate communities that have the same focus as well.

Use case is obvious.

Making a ton of accounts for each topic is not a good solution.

You don't have to make a ton of accounts. An account on one instance can subscribe to and participate in communities on any other instances (provided it hasn't been defederated by the instance admin).

Of course. That’s not what we’re talking about?
