So… who is going to maintain and curate this list? You don’t think they would be “censoring” communities?
It’s not gonna work, it’s something that can only be accomplished by the user.
Exactly. The community could partner with the user to enhance findability - e.g. a community could label itself with the "hockey" tag, and if the user clicks somewhere they could see all the communities that likewise have that "hockey" tag, and just like the language function, include or exclude all of them in one group rather than having to do so individually. No "censorship" by external agencies need apply, and anyway this could be entirely optional to the user who could continue to exist entirely in the absence of such a thing.
So I don’t label my community, or mislabel it so it shows up elsewhere, you can’t rely on others to hold your hand, this is only something that can be done user side.
