Was wondering if sub-lemmys were a thing. In other words: are there ways to make a community where you can draw direct, meaningful relations between existing communities?
There is no such thing as a “sub-lemmy,” do you mean a community that directly federates with similar communities, such that subscribing to one automatically puts you into a feed of all related communities?
OP means hierarchical communities with sub-communities with sub-sub-communities, like how comments work.
For example you could have a community for your country which would have sub-communities for each state or province which would sub-communities for each city which could have sub-communities for each neighborhood or subdivision.
I’m not sure what the benefit would be though.
Personally, I don’t understand the question. I’m assuming you’re starting a parallel to subreddits, but I don’t see how they had direct, meaningful relations between them?
Hopefully the new title makes more sense, but basically I want to create hierarchical communities so that they all share a common set of rules and policies but follow more rigid organizational structure - nodes display a grid of further nodes or allow search within the whole subtree. Leafs function essentially like communities do now and display user posts for whatever the structure is.
Thought this might be a more efficient structuring of the information we’d all like to share with each other and enjoy consuming : )
You might be overthinking it a bit.
thats the fun part!
like the old Yahoo forums
Sound a bit like a instance, but then in the form of a community. Sounds interesting.
It doesn’t yet exist, but if you want it to be made someday, you can create a feature request on the github. Though I doubt they will work on it anytime soon, as they’re currently pretty overloaded with issues.
this is a tad unrelated, but I figure if I have the question others will too: wheres the github at? I dont plan on posting about my idea but I’d be interested to see the source code and see if I can identify and potential issues as well and do my deontology for the year haha.
I imagine someone will figure out a way to get an aggregated feed of associated communities
On lemmy, it’s just a c/ or community. Not a sublemmy.
But, not really, no
sublemmy is cute, trips off the tongue, and can be shortened to sub. community is more awkward to say, and shortens to comm or commie. c/ (cee-slash?) is just awful. until someone suggests something better (lemmons? lemmunities?) i’m going to keep using sublemmy
edit 2023-07-17. i have settled on lemmysphere. it is a pun, and i like it
