Sounds good!

I updated the OP to use this post as an invitation for moderation, let’s see if we get other candidates, if not I’ll appoint you as mod in a few days :)

I’m open to discussion, let’s see what their reaction is

I appreciate the effort, but what is happening is option 1, aka merging of communities, naturally.

About knowing where to post, you can usually have a look at https://lemmyverse.net/communities, search the community name, and have a good idea of which one is the most active.

Sometimes different communities can coexist, and that’s fine. !science@mander.xyz and !science@lemmy.world have different audiences, and that’s okay.

From what I remember, the mbin team was indeed discussing it. I don’t remember the details, but I think it was aligned with what you are saying.

I think so, that’s not that big of a deal, is it?

https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin has more active development

There are several case of divides, such as !moviesandtv@lemmy.film and @movies@lemmy.world

I can see the genuine need to post to several communities at once

Curious to see how this thread will go, as it seems this opinion is indeed unpopular.

I agree with you 100%

A few points I’ve noted in the previous threads

• people confuse defederation and community blocking (in this case, it’s the latter)
• people assume that Lemmy.world is hosted in the US while it’s EU based
• people just feel like they need to announce they are leaving while this is not Reddit, most of the users open an alt and move on with their lives.

Sorry for this, feel free to block all of the communities related to the topics. That should allow smaller ones to come to your feed.

Pictures, food, movies communities are rising, there is hope

Lemmy.world holding such a prevalent place in the Lemmy/Kbin part of the Fediverse makes it a major single point of failure.

They should still be the newcomers instance, but communities and users should migrate to other instances to increase the resilience of the Fediverse.

Interesting instance
