What we’re really lacking on the ui end is a way to see groups of identical communities that are on different federated platforms. Hence the idea of a dom-lemmy. The way it would work is lets say you search for a cat community called “cats”, there’s at least dozens of them out there already. Instead it would return the cats dom-lemmy, with the option to either drill down to a specific instance, or to merge all sub-lemmys called cats into a single view
I think communities will naturally move to larger subsbutt as soon as a controversial choice is made by the mods it will split off again.
Its also important to note that all the biggest subs shouldn’t be on the same instance
