Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

    I assume all those different communities are eventually going to be assimilated into 1 or 2 communities. Those that lack subscribers will eventually die out organically.

      i don’t think that’ll happen, we’ll see! i think that some degree of redundancy is unavoidable as ppl

      1. don’t find the other one with the same name
      2. don’t even care
      3. acquire a sense of loyalty for their smaller one cuz they been there (sunk cost fallacy + a sense of ownership)
      4. are unable to see other communities that have not been federated yet for any reason
      5. wish to be closer to their home instance for reasons similar to 3.

      Me too. I just hope the algorithm will be smart enough to only show me those communities on my front page. Right now it is showing me everything and I have no idea if there’s any real algorithm deciding what shows up.
