A multi-community would be all communities with a certain name, across all instances. It would prevent powermods from being a problem on Lemmy. i think it should be notated with m/<insert name here>, just like communities but with m instead of c.

    Lemmy is primarily funded by the NLnet foundation and they have a previously defined (previous to the reddit exodus) set of milestone features that unlock funding from the foundation. The devs need to balance new issues that stem from the influx of users with keeping work going on those features so they can keep getting paid. I can’t find it now but one of the devs wrote a good statement on the gap between donations and their foundation funding, long story short, they really need the foundation money coming in to stay afloat.
