I think, maybe the change needs to happen in us lmao. Maybe, we should look at this as a feature, that lets us compare beehaw's responses vs lemmy's vs kbin vs any community or instance.

You can subscribe to all the communities to get different sides of the spectrum for a broader perspective.

Or maybe you only actually care for the responses from some communities (factors like content quality, quantity, political spectrum, etc) so you get to control exactly what you want to experience, and can unsubscribe accordingly.

@shepherd I fear that is easier said than done. I frequent /ALL most of the time, and new communities pop up pretty consistently. Unsubscribing from a seeming endless torrent of new instances and communities is tedious and probably futile in the long run. It would at least require a lot of constant curating to keep up with it.

If we were to aggregate identical links into a single thread with hyperlinks to the crossposts - it would allow much the same functionality without requiring each user to manually exclude large parts of the fedi.
