So I know we were all locked back out of the beta, but I'm still posting in here because I'm a rebel. Or this won't work and maybe something will explode. Either way on to the post.
So it wasn't long before it occurred to me that a large community would quickly run into a similar problem as the current Steem frontends. We can already see it in 3Speak in that it feels a bit "noisy". I think something that would be really valuable is at least one level deep sub communities within a community.
The functionality I'm envisioning is that when you follow a community you're automatically subscribed to all the sub-communities as well, but you can unfollow some of the sub-communities if you so choose. Using my community as an example, maybe I'm an artist who is into fine art and concept art, but really have no interest in graphic design, I'd be able to unfollow those sub-communities so I'm not shown that content.
Since it looks like communities is really an advanced tag sorting system, it would just be adding one more tag with a sort of "if the parent community tag is here(hive-xxxxxx) AND this sub community tag, show THIS content.
When you click on a sub-community it filters the posts to only the posts with both of those tags and when you post in the sub-community, you post automatically has both of those tags.
This would allow for the general idea of communities to simply be taken further. I imagine that if people wanted, there wouldn't even be a problem with this going deeper than a single level.

I could just see this sub-sub-sub-sub-community housing 95% of my communities subscribers. The heart wants what it wants. I think we should give the people the ultimate rabbit hole digging tools.
What do you all think?
