Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas
Blaze@lemmy.zip 3 weeks agoAt the moment we have a few famous examples of similar communities coexisting
- !android@lemdro.id vs !android@lemmy.world
- !movies@piefed.social vs !movies@lemmy.world
- !privacy@programming.dev , !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !privacy@lemmy.world
- !buyeuropean@feddit.uk vs !buyfromeu@feddit.org vs !BuyFromEU@europe.pub
All of those communities have similar rules, there’s nothing distinguishing them (!privacy@lemmy.ml for instance is different) except that mods never bothered to agree on a single place

I don’t think this is a problem. If the communities are similar enough, one will eventually win and be the bigger and main one. If they are different enough, they can continue coexisting.

Those are examples of similar communities that will probably never merge, but gives lawsofux.com/choice-overload/ to new joiners
“Where should I post? Those two communities look the same, one has more active users but the other one has more subscribers. Well, this is too confusing, guess I’ll just go back to Reddit”
