Oh hey, it's been a while since I've written this. Thanks for sharing it again. When I posted it last year to the fediverse community, people were not ready for it.

Excellent write-up of the problem and its potential solutions!

Do you know if Proposal 3 has made it to the Lemmy devs? If so, what was their response to it?

I haven't checked since making this post but when the idea was floating around the devs said they preferred multi-communities (proposal 2). That's still on the Lemmy roadmap but isn't here yet.

That said, Piefed apparently implemented something similar to proposal 3 so maybe the devs can change their mind and copy them instead.

Have they? Blaze linked to a thread on the implementation of Piefed "feeds", which is a form of Proposal 2 (multi-communities). Have they also implemented Proposal 3 (communities following each other) as well?

I really hope the devs consider Proposal 3, as it seems like the solution which best fixes fragmentation.
