Is it worthwhile to try to get mods to combine them? It just seems like a bit of a waste when trying to grow a community and its split in two.
Or is this what the fediverse is supposed to look like?
I read before somebody said that we might be able to combine similar communities at some point but don’t know if that’s true.
We need a feature to combine several communities into a group that we can follow in our subscriptions.
Then it wouldn’t matter anyway.
See this feature request on Github.
My suggestion on GitHub was to let instance admin create a local /g/ grouping, with the freedom in how they utilise a /g/ group.
Some people argued that they should be able to make it per account, like a multireddit, but the point was for new and general users having easier access to broader fediverse content.
The instance admin would only need to do some legwork at first, then they could add to it as they go along. The barrier of entry for new users finding which communities outside of their instance is substantial.
