    Is disagree. It means to me that there is still a preference for centralisation in the mind, which is limiting.

    You still need a minimum number of active contributors to keep the communities active. If everyone wants to post to their own community, they should switch to a microblog format, there everyone has their own feed.

    Communities consolidation happens all the time (see !fedigrow@lemm.ee ), because people get tired of “shouting into the void” on their community alone, and join forces with other people on a shared community.

      I read “new” a lot and on some profiles, it it is my default. I don’t “suffer” from choosing where to post, because I don’t really care that much about upvotes. Most things are a one off share and that’s it - except for questions, then I try to pick the biggest community. There are people to solve their conundrum by just cross-posting to all relevant communities, which is also fine by me.

      Personally, I’d rather have multiple small and active communities than centralised, large communities with many small and dead communities.

      As you see, I’m quite against centralisation and merging, and what-not. It’s probably a thing we disagree on.

        If it’s a one off share thing it’s probably fine the way you do it.

        I guess our perspectives are different because I’m more active on communities that are active “in the long run”, such as !buyeuropean@feddit.uk, !movies@lemm.ee, !privacy@programming.dev

        Also, most of the value of Reddit and Lemmy comes from the comments. Having splintered discussions in several similar communities prevents interesting conversations from happening.
