Lets say I want to ask Lemmitors a question. There might an AskLemmy community at my home server so I can ask there. But there might be a much larger AskLemmy community on a server elsewhere. Is there a way to ensure that people who subscribe to AskLemmy on the other server could also see my post on AskLemmy on my home server ?

    I don’t believe this functionality currently exists. It would be cool if moderators of any two communities could agree to link them together so they are effectively merged as one community, but with multiple entry URLs.

    I believe we’re called “Lemmings”.

    Besides that, I think OP is asking whether certain communities could be joined together (say one mirrors the other, or one redirects to the other), but I suspect this cannot work the way the Fediverse works.

    Still, an excellent question!

      This is actually the problem with mid sized communities. If there’s two political communities and their content is 70% overlapping then you’re obviously going to unsubscribe from one as your feed becomes cluttered. But then you’re missing that 30% of content from the other community.
