Hi all,

Guess it’s never too early to start thinking about features we’d like to see in Boost for Lemmy!

I was scrolling down my list of subbed communities just now and reflecting that the “@(server)” part of the community names makes it harder to quickly read them (for me at least).

I know that - this being the fediverse - you might sub to two communities with the same name but on different servers (eg. Football@[server]) but I would imagine that the majority of users will just pick one and on the day to day they won’t be terribly concerned where exactly that community is being hosted.

I think it’d be neat if you could select to hide the server part of the community name in Boost’s list, or at least make it less prominent in the name visually (e.g. - the actual name part in a highlight colour, the server part in a grey/other colour that blends in against the backdrop).

Thanks 🙂

    I had not considered the idea of subbing to multiple same-name communities across servers and using the multi-reddit model to pull them into a single feed, but that actually makes all the sense in the world - e.g. would enable folk who want the ‘edgier’ content of a topic to sub to an instance stored on a server which allowed that material as well as a more mainstream one and then combine them into one seamless view.

    I like this fediverse stuff!
