    It’s not much of fragmenting communities if people can easily learn about the others and it gives people choice. Not every technology community is the same. For example:

    • Lemmy.ml’s focus is on all news related to creation and use of technology, and to facilitate civil, meaningful discussion around it
    • Beehaw’s is rumors, happenings, and innovations in the technology sphere. If it’s technological news, it probably belongs here
    • Lemmy.world’s seems to be about news
    • Lemmy.einval.net’s seems to be about general technology, without a focus on news so far based on the post I can see, but it is too new to know for sure.

    While the first three seem to be about news, the fourth seems to be about general technology.

    Furthermore, in some cases fragmentation of communities is the very point. Lemmy is meant to be decentralized, which gives you choice in which one to go to. I don’t see how you think that is counterproductive though
