Communities of the same type should have a way to talk to each other, and more importantly, make it easy for users to follow them wherever they are. The current system is obviously inefficient for many reasons. I think there’s a lot of content across communities that is not being surfaced to users for whom that content is relevant, and it is making the entire system feel less lively than it could be.

    I hate that I saw the word “threadiverse”, knew exactly what it meant, and was still like " ugh frakkin’ kids today gotta have a word for everything… "

    Getting old sucks. I don’t recommend it, but I also can’t think of a better alternative.
