This Asklemmy and [email protected] appear to be identical in purpose yet are hosted on two different Lemmy’s. Do you guys have plans to merge into one?

Many different Lemmy servers have an announcements community, but just because they have similar naming doesn’t mean they serve the same purpose or should be merged.
The idea of monopolizing subreddit names like /r/askreddit needs to die. If you like one asklemmy over the other subscribe to it and not the other and let your vote dictate which community is the true embodiment of /r/AskReddit. Or subscribe to both: no different than it would have been being subscribed to both /r/technology and /r/tech. Similar communities with different mods, mod rules, and slightly different purposes.
In addition, even if the communities are built around the same content, not every instance is the same. I explicitly avoid lemmy.ml because I’ve seen them ban people for criticizing China’s government and discussing the genocide of the Uyghur people. As such, I appreciate having a lemmy.world variant of this community.
