Multi-magazines on kbin? (kbin.social)

Kbin (and Lemmy) needs something to combine several magazines into one. Currently, there are many magazines spread over several instances. There's no way to just view or subscribe to them at once. You need to check them separately. If there were multi-magazines, new user could just search for someone's multi- and don't get confused by the ten other communities that often are empty.

Is there a chance that it will be ever implemented? It's one of kbin biggest blocks from getting popular.

It's been discussed a bit. Most likely, this would end up being a sort of "mini-federation" between magazines / communities with similar purposes, so browsing one of them would pull posts from those internally federated instances too. It would be awesome if someone capable took this on as a project!

Yeah, it'd be pretty nice for similar communities to opt in to co-federating (I imagine on the backend a submission to one mag would submit to all mags, and the UI just has to be smart enough to dedup)
