    I’ve personally developed my system as:

    1. If there are multiple communities, which is the most popular?
    2. If the most popular community is on a problematic instance, skip to the next most popular that is also on a good instance.

    That takes away the paralysis, at least for me.

        Hm, I can’t recall encountering that yet, but I can see how that would be a harder one to decide. I suppose I might cycle between them.

            I try to avoid posting to .world if there’s a viable alternative, personally, so I’d opt for lemdro.id consistantly. I do the same with the videos communities, where I’ve been trying to boost [email protected] instead of posting to videos at .world.

            But if it wasn’t .world, the situation wouldn’t be ideal, and I’d support combining the communities if the mods were down for it.

              I’ve raised the issue to the LW mods a few months ago, they told me they were not interested in merging. The active mods being on the LW staff, it make sense.

            I think it’s fair to choose the smaller instance then, in the interest of diversification.

              Indeed, but as long as other people still prefer the LW version both communities will continue to splinter the conversations
