A multi-community would be all communities with a certain name, across all instances. It would prevent powermods from being a problem on Lemmy. i think it should be notated with m/<insert name here>, just like communities but with m instead of c.

    Use case? Just wanting to group together certain topics. Grouping together all the duplicate communities that have the same focus as well.

    Use case is obvious.

    Making a ton of accounts for each topic is not a good solution.

      You don’t have to make a ton of accounts. An account on one instance can subscribe to and participate in communities on any other instances (provided it hasn’t been defederated by the instance admin).

        Of course. That’s not what we’re talking about?

            Hotzilla’s solution was to make a new account on a different instance for a different topic (NSFW content in their case).

            They’re saying just make a new account for each topic you want to follow.

            Community groups are a much better idea.
