That’s very helpful and makes sense. Thanks!

Hopefully we can add that to @ernest’s ridiculously long and ever growing feature request list.

It’s definitely an interesting concept but then you have to define what constitutes a “duplicated” community. Do they have to share the exact same name? What if they are functionally duplicates but have different names (fediverse v fedi-verse)? What would happen if “trees” on Kbin is about actually trees but on a Lemmy instance it’s about weed?

I don’t have answers just questions. But I do like the idea of being able to abstract the instance that a community/magazines lives on one step further and make the topic the important part.

I agree that this would also be a useful feature! No hate for German but I don’t speak it and would prefer not to see it in my feed.
