Communities on different instances about the same topic should have the option to essentially federate so a post on one appears on all of them and opening any of them shows you the comments from all of them. This way when lemmy.world is down its not a big deal because posting to any news community federates to all of the communities instead of barely having people see your post. Federation could be decided by the community mods and the comments can have a little “/c/communityname@instance.name” on it so you know which community the comment was originally posted on.

What are MultiReddits and how do they work?

Basically you can see multiple subreddits of your choosing as if they are a single subreddit.

Oh wow, that can be beneficial to some people. Thank you for taking the time to explain

Here's how it's done. You just add a +, then the other subreddit. Now your view has 2 subreddits.
