But just because !books@lemmy.world hypothetically exists doesn't mean !books@programming.dev or !books@ttrpg.network have similar enough content. You can already view these communities from any instance. You're essentially trying to apply something like federation on top of something already being federated. They can all have very different rules and different content.
Not at all. Reddit has communities that are similar but with different names, rules, and culture and different people use them because they want different experiences. The same is true here.
That's like saying everyone that lives on 123 Main St is the same regardless of the city or everyone with the email "Bob" is the same regardless of what their email provider is.
Goober, I am literally not asking that and yes this is very similar to email. My home instance is programming.dev. We are both still talking. I did not have to make an account on lemmy.ml to respond to you here. I did not even have to go to lemmy.ml to see or respond to this post. This community does not "exist only on one server" by any means.
You're moving the goal posts, you're talking about default subscriptions being a problem now. That's totally different. And besides, it wasn't on my server and yet I found this.
