    Re-reading your post before I hit submit… I think I am just repeating what you are saying!

    What I was saying:


    I think the solution is “meta instances” or “meta communities” or “meta aggregators”.
    A community or instance that aggregates the smaller communities.
    And some way for smaller communities to submit content to that aggregator.
    Like, I’m browsing my instance’s “all”. I find a good meme that suits my “programming memes” interest. So, I submit that post to the aggregator.

    Essentially like cross posting, but a community of all crossposts and everything is treated like it’s on the original instance.
    But as a primary feature. Where it’s easy to “submit to aggregate subscription” or whatever.

    But then we would get every instance with their own meta-community, and it’s just a complication on top of communities and instances.

      Putting a list of similar instances and communities in the sidebar would help a ton. Yes, there is a list of communities on every instance, but I’m not scrolling through a hundred rows trying to determine which I might like based on the names.

      The trick is to have meta-meta-communities to aggregate the aggregators :)
