For example, I’m on Lemmy.ml and I’ve joined [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]. In this example, it’s not very different from the number of similar groups on Flickr but, in comparison to Reddit, it seems like the decentralized platform can be a little unruly.

How are you going about joining different communities and managing your engagement? Are you only participating on the community on your instance? Are you joining and posting in as many instances that seem relevant?

    I like the idea of viewing multiple communities. However, I don’t like the idea of cross-posting to all communities at the same time - it would prevent communities with overlapping topics to diverge and specialise, since people would mostly post the same stuff in all of them.

    Instead I think that a multireddits-like approach is better: you group comms for visualisation, and your group can be either private or public. If public, other people can copy your group, so they use it instead of subscribing to individual comms.
