Argh, why make 2 communities? >_< Pick one damnit :D

I’m going to the blahaj one

Anyway well done for recognizing the ship is rapidly disintegrating.

I was thinking the same thing, it’s counterintuitive to the whole point of Lemmy lol

Actually no, it is not. Having multiple smaller communities works to the benefit of users in the Fediverse. One server might be down, and people in those communities can find another community on a different instance to continue discussion until the community of their instance choice comes back up.

By that logic it makes more sense to have one community mirrored over multiple instances. If one instance goes down the others just take over. No hassle for the users.

I do think it would be beneficial if there was a way to have “super communities” or “sub-federation,” where communities with similar topics can opt in to the feature. Thus if a person subscribes to one of the communities with that feature, other communities with similar topics will appear in that thread.

Ultimately, this would retain decentralization while increasing community discovery, which is a benefit to end-users.
