Ya’ll are basically talking about how Lemmy works already. You have c/photography on Lemmy.ml. And while you’re logged into Lemmy.world, it’s c/photography@lemmy.ml.
You subscribe on Lemmy.world and comment on Lemmy.world and everything is synced. If Lemmy.ml is down, you can still see everything and comment from Lemmy.world and itll sync once Lemmy.ml is back online.
If you’re talking about communities existing on each instance, ie lemmy.world/c/photography and lemmy.ml/c/photography then yeah, those won’t sync. But the users need to coalesce around once of those, say the lemmy.ml one, then when you go to lemmy.world/c/photography@lemmy.ml. The duplicate communities is no different than Reddit having 2 similar subreddits.
That’s not what they’re talking about, though. What they’re wanting is something that would, for example, combine the feeds for c/photography@lemmy.ml and c/photography@lemmy.world into one collective c/photography.
The only effect of this is to have numerous separately moderated communities
That’s… already the case? c/photography@lemmy.ml and c/photography@lemmy.world, again for example, are already separately moderated communities. The only thing this would change is that instead of subscribing to both individually and seeing their content separately, you could subscribe to a collective c/photography that would show you content from both communities.

I mean, yea that makes sense but I see a ton of dup communities that don’t seem even remotely synced up…I could be wrong but yea 🤔

That’s just unnecessary, though. The only effect of this is to have numerous separately moderated communities, which sounds like a nightmare to me.

I guess what you’re looking for is the equivalent of a multireddit.
That’s why i changed my wording part way through to “Alias.” Allowing someone to say, “this name actually refers to an offer server name.”
This means that the shitty UX of searching for cool communities is marginally better.
