I think the fundamental issue is lemmy is very fragmented and has a hard time building hobby communities. There needs to be a way to ‘merge’ communities across the fediverse without spreading out moderator burden. Moderators I think should be able to consent to this merger of interest communities across site lines. There also needs to be some sort of recommendation algorithm for users to find communities.
Maybe multicomms can be used as an advertisement mechanism for communities of interest, maybe moderators could pin a multi-community that they support?
quick idea about how to show multicomms that are popular and thus advertise similar communities. the multicomm in the multicomm sidebar must include the community in question in the multicomm of course.
