For now I subscribe to multiple communities, but I really hope the Lemmy devs figure out a way to let each user create a community group.
The way I envision it is that you can create a group where you can combine communities on your end, and you can then cross-post to these communities when you post to that community group.
On the other hand, there would need to be a way to ensure that cross-posts aren't generating a ton of duplicates to those subscribed to multiple communities, and I'm not sure how the comments on these cross-posts should be dealt with. Maybe the comments should be kept separate per cross-post, or maybe if you have these communities in a group there could be a way to display the comments from there multiple posts together, to ensure all those crossposts have a change to get some interaction on other instances?
Then there's also the possibility of spammers abusing the system.
There is still place for improvement.
nope, users MUST not create groups and cross-post to these groups...
I don't want idiots to put gonewild and technology into the same group and see their dicks in my feed... I'm fine with boobs, but no dicks.
So... by "users MUST not", you mean you'd prefer if they didn't.
Some restrictions could be added to avoid dumb mistakes like this, like how you cannot add NSFW and non-NSFW communities in the same group
I mean, adding a cute dog photo to a Linux subreddit is not ideal as well.
