      Because sometimes a more specific community is better for certain things than a broad sweeping community.

        Indeed, but then should we have a community for Amazon Prime, Max, Peacock, etc. ?

        There is a balance between too generic communities and overspecialized communities. The activity on [email protected] seems to indicate that having one community is enough

          I agree. We first need to get the broader communities with activity before they can branch out. If things are too spread out, it will limit growth

            Because the current Lemmy userbase can only sustain a certain level of community specialization.

            People are not going to subscribe to 5 different communities to talk about TV shows.

            Cooking communities consolidated a while ago

            Until such time that Lemmy’s user growth is at a point that it can support some of the smaller, niche cooking communities, these communities will be locked.
