No. It's confusing. Maybe make them easily accessible though but still distinct so that the users know it's two different spaces.
The problem is that then people only post in the "one big community" and this neuters the decentralization aspects of Lemmy and fragments the lemmy community as a whole.
I think this is a great compromise where communities remain distinct and granular, but we get a common discussion space for all by default
As a user, I very much do not want a common discussion space.
I am with you as a user, but also an instance administrator. Forcing our hosted communities together with federated communities would take away nearly all motivation I have to host an instance in the first place.
