[Feature Request] Suggest communities for user

[testman42]

This project has a great opportunity to help with one of the most requested features for Lemmy.

Many users are saying that there should be a way to somehow combine same-name communities across instances.

• Add new section to website that has a field for @[email protected] or https://instance.tld/u/username
• get / scrape communities that user is subscribed to
• return list of communities with the same name on other known instances.
• (option to hide/show already subscribed-to communities)

Something like this would be an awesome tool that would greatly help with discoverability.

Currently we have no way to achieve your point 2. get / scrape communities that user is subscribed to

If we have a way to get lists of communities that a specific user is subscribed to, I'd be happy to revisit this.
