Super-communities? (lemmy.ml)

An idea that just occurred to me. I was looking for communities on machine learning to join, so I searched https://browse.feddit.de/ and found a bunch. They don't have much content but together they have at least 4 or 5 posts each, which adds up to a few posts, so I subscribed to all of them.

However, now I have no way of "grouping" them so that I can view posts of all communities in my feed related to the topic of machine learning.

I was wondering if some concept of "super communities" could be interesting for Lemmy, similar to "multireddits". People could curate their collection of favourite communities around a topic, over multiple instances, and users could easily subscribe and browse the whole bunch of them.

There is an active discussion about this already on github. Definitely agree that it would be a nice feature to have.

Nice, only 3 days old too. Great minds think alike :P

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Over time they will probably merge, either explicitly or simple because one of them gains more traction than the others.

I agree this would be a great feature.
