Federation is pretty cool
I noticed my feed on Lemmy was pretty dry today, even for Lemmy. Took me a while to realize lemmy.ml has been going up and down all morning, and isn't federating new posts.
But, since this is all still federated, I can still create and read posts on other instances while I wait. Even this one! Any other service would just be unavailable completely right now.
I do miss the larger communities on lemmy.ml - asklemmy, memes, and I really wanted to watch the reddit fallout on /c/reddit. Maybe I'll look around for some good replacements for those. Open to suggestions!

Fully merging them, sure, bad Idea.
Having way to browse both at the same time, though? Basically, some sort of a multi-community system that lets me see posts from both communities easily, and post to both (or selected few) at the same time.
Posts could even be "merged" by the hash of the content, so that there are no visible duplicates.
That'd be a pretty cool feature. Sounds like it could be a front end "fix" too
It would be a nice feature to be able to group communities into feeds.
