I have a number of Lemmy instances meant for discussion groups around specific topics. They are not being as used as I expected/hoped. I would like to set them up in a way that they can be owned by a consortium of different admins so that they are collectively owned. My only requirement: these instances should remain closed for registrations and used only to create communities.

Community collections should be a thing. Something like /cc/Technology could pull in lemmy.world/ other instances and collections of communities. It makes it easier if one instance dies, an instance de-federates itself, or just wanting to consolidate all the different /c/Technology communities across instances.

It would also be nice if communities had the option to vote on their admins once in a while. Having individuals lord over different communities is a problem in reddit.

Excellent! Thanks. Ill take a look at it sometime. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

Last time I checked, there was still discussion on how people want this to work. Because its easy to say, but hard to get everyone to agree.

That's an argument that is:

  • application specific
  • agency-removing (only Lemmy devs can do something about)
  • orthogonal to the stated problem
