I believe that Lemmy should add the ability for an instance to self-aggregate, were an Admin bundles other instances communities into a /g/ grouping.
So instance.tld/g/community could include the whatever communities across the fediverse they felt it should.
Some instances would use it for general aggregation, others would be more strict as a way to merge identical communities.
But as for now, there is no feature set.
@briongloid Not admins. Users should be able to do it.
As an admin, there is no way I can be across all of the niche subtleties and naming schemes of communities I'm not involved in. If I have to group them, I'm going to get it wrong.
If it's going to sit anywhere above the individual level, it should be at the community mod level, not the instance admin level. But of course, many community mods aren't going to want to actively point people at other larger communities that overlap with theirs.
