Dessalines and I are busy with other things, so we wont be able to work on this anytime soon. But contributions are always welcome :)

On a related note, is there any page or document showing what's actively being worked on and what features to look forward to? I am expecting the answer is no, since I know this is all voluntary work. But if it exists, would love to check it out and see what you're up to :)
Our github profiles are pretty active, and can show what things we're working on specifically.
I know nothing about the codebase, but being a developer myself, I’m curious to hear how complex you’d think the task would be, and how much domain knowledge of the fediverse / activity pub would be required.
It's definitely a major feature which requires changes to most parts of the code. So maybe a week or two for the initial implementation (or more if you are unfamiliar with the stack). I don't think these multilemmys would have to federate at all, so you don't have to know anything about Activitypub.
Yes, this is planned.
GitHub issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818
Last activity was two years ago, and the maintainers are in this thread saying they're focused elsewhere.
Thank you for the GitHub link! I'd like to point out to people who really want this feature that there's a way to vote with your wallet and chip in towards a bounty for it 😉
Closest atm is making multiple accounts and having 1 acct only subscribe to memes, 1 to tech etc.
