There are tons of Rust communities spread on multiple instances. Is the expectation that users interested in rust should just subscribe to all of these? Is there a community which aggregates posts from all rust communities together into one?

    Unfortunately, that’s the expectation, yes. I think, someone is working on a “multireddit” kind of feature, though. Also, Lemmy is written in Rust, so you could totally contribute! 😜

      some sort of “multireddit” is imo the best solution, one of the things I saw as a pro before joining the fediverse but it somehow seems to be dismissed inside is the fact that we should have options to join communities run by different people, if we don’t like how things are run we can just “go somewhere else”.

      We should have a way to index and group similar communities to view and interact while they still remain individual. Otherwise we are just going to be reddit 2.0, unfortunately I already saw a “powermod” starting to hoard communities on lemmy.world, that’s the thing we should have left behind.

        sigh That was bound to happen, right? Those powermods (especially people like awkwardtheturtle) are incredibly annoying. It’s not possible to mod so many communities at once. There aren’t many communities on my own instance that I host, but thinking about it, I might impose a hard limit of how many communities one person can create / moderate at one time. Maybe 5 or so.
