I've had a thought, what if clients allowed users to mix and match communities so that they show as one? You could bundle all the gaming communities into one for instance. You'd still see where each publication originates from but they would appear in the same feed
The issue with this is doing it locally.
If you bundle 20 communities you'd end up doing 20 requests back to back to create the combined list. Could end up being really slow.
But aren't clients already doing this in order to display 'all' or 'subscribed' ?
Nah that comes back from the API in on call, it's combined on lemmys side.
Pretty sure Summit is the only one to implement that so far.
