we have "sub-lemmys" but what we are missing for lack of a better term is "dom-lemmys", hear me out (lemmy.world)

What we're really lacking on the ui end is a way to see groups of identical communities that are on different federated platforms. Hence the idea of a dom-lemmy. The way it would work is lets say you search for a cat community called "cats", there's at least dozens of them out there already. Instead it would return the cats dom-lemmy, with the option to either drill down to a specific instance, or to merge all sub-lemmys called cats into a single view

At first I thought this was a good idea, but now I'm not sure. Instead of encouraging the need for that sort of manual work to group every similar community for every topic, I think we should let the communities naturally converge on the winning community.

There is an issue around this on the lemmy GitHub. One ide I liked from that discussion was allowing community mods to subscribe to other communites via tags.

Like that way all the star trek communities that have the same tag could share content, and it would not depend on matching the community names in some automated way.
