MODERATORS
If the OP finds a post from another instance, he/she can put it in the text field of his/her instance's search (at lemmy.world/search for the OP) to search/get the local ("federared") version of the post.
Also, here are some communities the OP may find interesting to subscribe to, to help with discoverability:
- !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
- !newcommunities@lemmy.world
- !trendingcommunities@lemmy.cafe
- !lemmydirectory@lemmy.dbzer0.com
And not relevant to the OP since Lemmy doesn't support small posts ("microblogging", e.g. Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon's), but for people on compatible instances, following these two may help too:
- @trending@mastodon.bot
- @trendytoots@mastodon.social
I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned, but you can view all the posts across the network that are visible to your server in the "All" feed. I personally don't even bother with subscribing anymore, I block the communities I'm not interested in
You can't with Lemmy, yet. Maybe if you use a frontend client that supports it (like "blorp", or "Interstellar"). However, if you use PieFed you can do this. Just set up what's called a "Feed" and then you can combine all of the parenting communities into one.
For example, this is what the "AllGaming" feed looks like: https://piefed.social/f/allgames
There might be a feed already set up on the PieFed.world instance, otherwise you could be the one to set it up for everyone else.
Compared to Lemmy, PieFed also allows you to use tags on posts, user flair, create polls, blur spoiler images, and it will also combine the comments of anything that's been crossposted (separated into groups for each community) into a single post.
Blorp dev here. If I’m understanding the problem correctly, there are multiple parenting communities that OP wants to combine into one. If that’s the case, you’re in luck because I just pushed an update to Blorp that improves support for PieFed’s multi community feeds. Someone just has to create a feed that combines all the parenting communities.
I would start by creating an account on PieFed.social, try and setup the feed yourself on the official PieFed.social website (you can’t create feeds through Blorp yet), and if you get stuck ask in !piefed_help@piefed.social.
Once the feed is created, you should be able to pull it up in Blorp. There is still a lot of improvement for feeds in Blorp, like listing all the feeds you’re subscribed to. Stay tuned.
Added context: PieFed is an alternative to Lemmy but still can access the same communities and content through a different interface and different set of features. They are both interoperable.
You aren't seeing other posters because there aren't other posters lmao
You can't on lemmy until lemmy 1.0 releases. It doesn't have feed options.
However, Piefed does. Piefed is another software that reads Lemmy instances and can do exactly what you want.
EDIT: You could just only subscribe to all the parenting communities, although obviously that would be diluted if you subscribed to other things too.
Makes me think, in the lack of such a function, perhaps if a site like https://lemmyverse.net/communities has a public API, maybe an integration could be added on the user's side with browser extensions?
