Doesnt that link directly to only one instance's version of that community though? Rather than combining every instance community of the same name into the same feed?

    Same-named communities on different instances are still different communities, they do not get combined ever (unless you use an app with that feature, not sure whether such an app actually exists)

    !memes@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz are separate for example

    Yes, but it would be more convenient if there was a way to link all communities of the same name from all federated instances together for browsing purposes. Kinda like Reddit's Multi-Reddit. Its totally doable within a custom browsing application, but would be nice if Lemmy could implement something like it natively.

    This way if someone has blocked instances, they can see posts from that same community name on a different unblocked instance and will likely arrive at the same contextual information as the post that mentions it, as it is unlikely that the same name community on different instances would have drastically different content. C/food on Lemmy World is most likely going to have the same type of content as c/food on Sopuli XYZ: posts about food.
