I can see this being very taxing on an instance's network resources, maintaining and sending the complete list of communities that it has access to every time a request like this is started.
How would that even work?
Any given instance only has records of the /c's that its users have joined, and there are likely plenty of /c's that its users have not joined.
What if some instances have disappeared, along with their /c's? There are some zombie /c's out there because of this, and those could really use some cleanup because their content is still in the caches of many instances.
What about de-federation? What happens to de-federated /c's?
