I don't think an unmodified Reddit app would be able to effectively browse the fediverse no matter how good a translation API is, but it could mean a lot LESS work for an app designer making a lemmy app.
I wonder in the relay for reddit author can make this a reality?
God I hope so. No knock against the developers, because it's a young app and they are improving it almost every day, but Jerboa is really hard to use coming from Relay.
u/DBrady just has excellent UX/UI design sense.
Jerboa is already faster and easier than Infinity.
Hey. Dont dis my first love. 😊
I still have Infinity installed and will miss it sorely. It has some features Jerboa is still missing. But I am hoping some of these 3rd party devs will find a love for Lemmy. If Lemmy can hold a growing community.

Interesting, I wonder how they’ll handle communities being decentralized.
Communities themselves are not really decentralized, are they?
Kind of, in the sense that once populations booms, there could be many communities covering the same topic. Which has both upsides and downsides.
Since I've joined lemmy, I've been thinking about some kind of "community merging" feature.
A "meta community" would be able to "follow" other communities across the fediverse and posts from followed communities would show up in the "meta community's" feed. Posts from followed communities would remain on their original instances, or they could be duplicated to the meta community's instance.
There are a lot of details to work out, but I think this would add a lot more usability to lemmy and the fediverse as a whole
I guess this will be sorted out by itself, as people will be joining the most active communities regarding a topic - at one point the least actice communities of a topic will "die" out.
@emberwit @Ghostalmedia well they are in the sense that any account from across the fedi can contribute to them. I just posted this topic from my single user mastodon instance

Couldn't they just treat them as subreddits? Subs are essentiallly their own communities already
