I still don’t entirely understand how it works here. But I had the thought that if following a spree of making new communities, two ended up quite similar in content and user base, would it then be possible to merge them together?

  • If they are running on different instances, I think it’s a good thing to have duplicate communities. Unlike other sites each instance don’t have piles of money and infrastructure. In the next few months I expect that serval instances of Lemmy will go down and having the redundancies will be a real lifesaver for those communities.
