What do you think is the best solution to having the same named communities on different instances? - eviltoast

We should implement this as whenever I wish to browse (for example) technology@lemmy.world I have to go to there, and whenever I wish to browse technology@kbin.social I have to go there. Would it be possible to implement it in kbin/lemmy’s code to make it easier to browse all?

    Wasn’t there a forthcoming tag-based feature to allow posts to propagate between similar communities/magazines?

    That makes the most sense to me. Because then each parallel community also serves like a pseudo-snapshot of the others, allowing all others to continue without the pain of an interregnum, e.g., in the event of, say, a rogue defederation.

    That wouldn’t account for cultural differences between instances though. Where those are drastic, then people should get to choose which one they want to join.
