Since the lemmy issue is getting overrun with people talking about other proposals, I'm thinking about submitting this as a #FEP. Is that still a useful process? I don't know how many projects look to FEPs for implementation guidance.
@0x1C3B00DA My issue with this proposal as a moderator is how conflicting moderation styles will work. Moderators would either have to do double the work (if everything is sent over) or they may lose out on posts that would be fine in one community but not another (if each community moderates separately).
The only way to fix it would be to "unfollow" the communities and that in turn can cause users to get upset. I think a multireddit approach is probably better TBH.
I think a multireddit approach is a useful feature and still desirable alongside this proposal. They solve two different issues. A multireddit helps a user organize the topics they follow. My proposal is meant to decrease reposting of links and fragmentation of the conversation around those links.
As for the moderation issues, everything you said is true. But its completely up to the moderators so if that were a worry then the mod can choose to ignore this feature. Also, moderation issues were also why the proposal requires a symmetric relationship. My thought was a mod who was more worried about moderation issues would survey the remote community for a while and probably even engage its mod to form a direct relationship and gauge how closely their moderation styles align.
