Title is a bit of a loaded question but I tried to fit it into one sentence.

Do you think Lemmy’s search and use functions are hurt by all the communities that were made and abandoned during the 2023 Redditfugee influx? As in, do you think that Lemmy would be better off if some of these communities were consolidated into larger general pages until it gets a big enough user base to warrant individual communities for specific TV shows, for example.

    The main issue is that different people prefer different approaches based on instances

    • [email protected] is the one for people who enjoy Lemmy world and the centralised experience
    • [email protected] is for people who prefer to spread communities across different instances
    • [email protected] is for people who enjoy a strong moderation and small community feeling

    All of them are valid, but those different views prevent merging the communities

      That’s fair enough, I know that I want to see smaller communities to grow such as ones for certain games and creators. Making it into a place not only for Techy people is what the Fediverse needs to grow to wider audiences.
