An excellent article, thanks for posting!
The "communities following communities" seems like quite an elegant solution. Kind of like federating between communities in addition to instances. I wonder what the chances are that we'll see this implemented?
For now, I suppose we'll just have to continue with old-fashioned merging...
Piefed has feeds now, if people want to try: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/38733273
That's more like Proposal 2, and doesn't actually solve the main issues with duplicate communities. Proposal 3 solves them quite elegantly.
You seem to like it, but for me the biggest issue is that it's not going to happen any time soon.
Merging communities can be done now, as you are well aware 😄
Yes, Lemmy development is slow, but Proposal 3 seems like such an elegant solution to me that I think it is worth striving for. There's also no reason all three Proposals can't be pursued in parallel, as they each have their own use cases.
Yes, but it's a bit of a pain, as you are also aware :)
Definitely!
Oh yeah 😄
