If an account is created on any specific server, like !Lemmy.world does that mean if the server does shut down, the account data is lost?
Also for username availability, could we create an account in a different server where the name is not used yet?
Does seem easy to add tho right? A setting that says, any community with the same name get added together, kind of like multi-reddits. Instead of multi-reddit (science+art) It could be (Funny+Epicfunny+…)
Also going back to regional stuff, users could have language or regional specifics:
Funny+EpicFunny+GermanFunny Funny+EpicFunny+CanadianFunny Maybe us Canadians have different humor that doesn’t translate. Lemmy can be more focused.
Good point about abuse from bots, but that’s where running your own community comes in
Again though, you’re leaving the aggregation up to the user. They would have to know of the existence of those other communities to even add them via multi style. To my knowledge we weren’t looking for more focused, we were looking for an aggregation platform like Reddit without the monetization of our content and moderation efforts.
How could you know how the feature will come out, if it even does? We are early days here. The multis could be created by mods or other users who enjoy that type of stuff.
I think we got to try to be optimistic and help create what we want here.
