    Over in kbin.social… wondering if there will be a simple way to consolidate duplicate magazines/communities

      It’d be interesting to have metamagazines or something along the like. There’s a lot of repeat mags out there that would benefit from an easy way to share/federate at a smaller scale than per-instance.

        I’d like something in this vein to view multiple communities of the same topic at once (like folders/multi-reddits/etc.) too.

        Another idea, if possible, might be to have Lemmy search for existing communities/magazines in linked instances as you’re trying to make a community, similar to how it searches for already posted links, so that folks are given a heads up to those existing communities. If they want to go on to make their own local version then it’s just up to them.
