MODERATORS
That's what people are used to from Reddit. They're used to having one giant subreddit about one topic. That's why everyone's centralized themselves on lemmy.world or kbin.social. That's why one of the most requested features is the ability to make "multireddits" (or otherwise combining all different communities into one)
This is a culture problem to solve, technical solutions can only do so much to help.
@ShittyKopper why is a multi community feature an issue? I want to see what more than one fed server says on a topic and maybe have some cross list merging to increase efficiency.
If you are explicitly aware that different instances specialize in different concerns I can absolutely see the use for a feature like that, but most people want a feature of that sort just so they can "paper over" federation and pretend to have one giant community with one giant moderation policy / culture / priorities.
And that is before getting to the absolutely horrible idea of automatically generating multi-communities by merging communities with the exact same name regardless of their instance.
@ShittyKopper I definitely don’t want it automated but I also don’t want to miss content.
