If I understand Lemmy correctly, you can create duplicate communities on different instances. Isn’t this kinda counter productive because this may lead to less user interaction in those communities, because the user base gets split up between competing communities.
Is there a way to fight this division of the (small) userbase or is this effect even desired because it leads to more tight knit communities on the different instances?
I think it’s a valid question. I think there is value in allowing separate communities, but it makes discovery harder.
It would be nice to see a way of creating meta lists with one click signup functionality, so curated lists can be created.
And/or the ability for communities to be able to link perhaps? So they become functionally one community, but with the ability to split remaining in the individual admins control.
