Federation is pretty cool (lemmy.ubergeek77.chat)

I noticed my feed on Lemmy was pretty dry today, even for Lemmy. Took me a while to realize lemmy.ml has been going up and down all morning, and isn't federating new posts.

But, since this is all still federated, I can still create and read posts on other instances while I wait. Even this one! Any other service would just be unavailable completely right now.

I do miss the larger communities on lemmy.ml - asklemmy, memes, and I really wanted to watch the reddit fallout on /c/reddit. Maybe I'll look around for some good replacements for those. Open to suggestions!

On one hand, yeah, federation is cool. On the other, I've already seen two @Technology communities on two different instances, and I can see this issue becoming even worse.

A good solution would be to have some mechanism of merging same-named communities of multiple instances. But, alas, nothing like that afaik

It'd be cool if there was some mechanism where Community A could follow Community B, so that all posts from Community B automatically show up in A. This way, you could also aggregate communities with different names, create multiple custom front pages etc.
