I still don’t entirely understand how it works here. But I had the thought that if following a spree of making new communities, two ended up quite similar in content and user base, would it then be possible to merge them together?

    The main developers stated recently new features are unlikely anytime soon due to focus on defect fixes and performance issues.

    However, if there is a feature backlog, a community aggregator feature should be a top feature.

    At a high level:

    • Users shall have the ability to group multiple communities into a single “grouping”
    • Users shall have the ability to amend the list of communities within the grouping
    • Users shall have the ability to “publish” a grouping to other users
    • Users shall have the ability to subscribe to another user’s grouping (this would allow for a type of “editor” like power user that manages a grouping to tailor a desired experience)

    This new grouping layer should supercede the larger communities list, but not replace it.

    Thoughts?

      Makes sense and honestly a much better idea than merging. Allows practically endless specificity without needing to eliminate existing communities
