Oh wow. I booted up Boost this morning as usual, scrolled for 10-15 minutes, and didn't realize I was on Lemmy instead of Reddit until this post.

    Trying to sub to something from other instance is still pain in the ass tho. Especially when you're from a small instance so everything is somewhere else.

    Agreed. I really hope (and honestly think) that third party tools (and Boost particularly) will improve discoverability as the ecosystem grows. Being able to see other servers' communities and Local feed will be a big step toward getting across the usability hurdle and getting more people here.

    "Multireddits" (for lack of a better word), too. Maybe call them "community bundles." I'm subscribed to like five different (functionally identical) Star Trek communities, for instance; being able to group them all together and suppress/merge crossposts would be fantastic.

    At least on Liftoff it's incredibly easy.

    With the normal web interface it's easy as well
