I’m surprised that no-one’s brought out a client that can merge communities. People properly using the cross-posting feature seems to help with this a bit.
Fuck yeah! I was just thinking about this the other day. Like a singular mask for all political communities, one for pictures, etc. Almost how Gaim/Pidgin/Adium/Trillion did for the multitude of competing chat programs back in the day.
But my favourite implementation would be that I as a user should be able to create virtual communities where I can put in one, two or several communities into one and it would be shown like one community in my UI.
I haven’t thought of those clients in years. I feel old. Used all of them except Adium, and I think it was just a specific kind of Trillian? Not too sure, it’s kind of fuzzy.
This sentence is being uttered by me more and more the last couple weeks.
Guess I’ll be dead of old age by next month or so. Rip.
lol you better not be dead in the next month or so!
I think Adium was, or now that I’m looking at Wikipedia became the OSX(as it was named at the time) implementation of Gaim/Pidgin. Was its own thing but started getting Gaim/Pidgin stuff implemented in it. Trillian, I think, was distinct because it was a closed source commercial product whereas the Gaim/Pidgin/Adium has always been an open source free kind of deal.

At least if lemmy detects the same link it should view it as a cross-post automatically, even if people didn’t use the cross-post UI.

You’re not the first one, here is a open feature request from June 2020 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818
