    I’d like to see community merging as an option on the client side. I would like to see a combination of multireddits (so that all of the various /news subs were presented to the user as /news), and that multiple posts around the same article could have their posts merged transparently.

    This way, the system could still respect the rules of federation (eg defederated hosts wouldn’t appear) and users would on top of that be able to choose which /news subs they wanted to see as unified.

      I’d like this even if I had to manually combine what communities I want into one.

      Boost for Reddit used to let you make custom feeds of a few communities I used for that reason, Haven’t tried the Lemmy version of Boost tho.

      I like this idea a lot for its stability, but I lament that my 10 year old smart phone won’t be able to cope with the load of sorting and grouping several posts on a whim… Or maybe it can? I guess these apps only handle 30 or so posts a time, and that doesn’t seem like such a large number.
