Suggestion: Lemmy needs lists

3 years ago by Rich Aten to c/support

Lemmy needs to have the ability to assign both local and federated communities to specific user-defined lists so we can control how we consume similar content in the Fediverse. For example, I might be a Reddit refugee that's fond of the /r/patientgamers subreddit. But now i have many multiple *patientgamers communities across various Lemmy instances, Kbin, etc... I'd like to be able to create a /l/patientgamers list, assign all of the local or federated communities I want to that list, and then navigate to that list to consume all of the "patientgamers" content from across the fediverse in one feed. Mastodon has this, and it rocks.

I agree. There is too much duplicate content right now. But I'm sure the best ones will float to the top

I'm sure that will happen, but I prefer the centralization to be client-side.

I think client side is the best approach. If I want to build an instance for hearing impaired, for instance, that c/technology would be necessarily different, though a user may still want their client to grab that as well.
