What do people think of a way to link communities together into categories or general topics? (lemmy.world)

Either with "folders" before the community name or assigning tags to the community. In either case it would be determined by the community creator.

I was commenting on another post about a "multi-rexxit" type of thing for grouping similar communities together that would work quite well.

I'm not sure a collection that one person is in charge of maintaining is the best way to go. Communities organizing themselves into some kind of structure seems more in keeping with the spirit of the fediverse.

I couldn't agree more. My point wasn't super clear upon read through. I meant users can create their own groups to organize things for themselves. I guess they can share these collections of the want is there but it's mostly just an organizational thing per user in my mind. Like multireddits if you've ever used them.

See my description of how the tags would work below for more details

I like the idea of that. So basically it's be a community driven tag system with local user customization to further narrow down your tagged sections?

[-] Hypersapien@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I wasn't thinking of user customization, but if they can make it work, sure.

That could also be a feature of any apps that get made as well. This could be the easiest route for the user customization side.
