Lemmy federation improvement regarding names and communities (slrpnk.net)

Hi! It’s me as usual.

I was wondering if there could be a way for lemmy when federating to at least fetch:

  • community names
  • community nicknames
  • usernames

I’m a fan of the fact that it doesn’t fetch everything because it would be a mess very quickly and it makes no sense to fetch a whole server because one user of your instance maybe wants to follow a single community from a super big instance… But names? So when people search for communities don’t need to “force” federation check using the exact syntax.
