Having two similar communities on the same topic splits conversations, and give posters decision fatigue
Edit: some topics have consolidated their communities to avoid that, example from a few months ago: https://lemm.ee/post/46935805
Edit2: the UK community has a lot of different mod. The .org community only has one, who hasn’t been active since 8 days.
We don’t have the user base that Reddit has.
There have been parallel communities existing without a clear winner for a very long time
Communities need to be actively consolidated for people to converge on one community. Examples of closed communities
The vegan one would be hard, there are like 15 of them!
I suggest !vegan@lemmy.vg should the be the default as it is ran and hosted by actually vegans though the instance version is at 0.19.5 with !vegan@slrpnk.net 0.19.9 a close second.
Everyone from Lemmy.ml, Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml should consolidate into !vegan@vegantheoryclub.org (0.19.9).
