We have tried to contact the mod of this community but they haven’t been online / responsive since they went to sleep that one day when this was brought up. We wanted to discuss this.
Just noticed the mod hasn’t been active for 8 days. Tha’s a bit concerning, I’ll add it to the OP.
We don’t have the user base that Reddit has.
There have been parallel communities existing without a clear winner for a very long time
- !android@lemmy.world and !android@lemdro.id
- !movies@lemm.ee and !movies@lemmy.world
- !firefox@fedia.io, !firefox@lemmy.world and !firefox@lemmy.ml
- !privacy@lemmy.ml, !privacyguides@lemmy.one, !privacy@lemmy.world, !privacy@programming.dev, !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Communities need to be actively consolidated for people to converge on one community. Examples of closed communities
It’s a maybe bit ironic to have the dominant “buy European” community hosted at feddit.uk, but I’m all for it.
Most of the US communities (!news@lemmy.world, !politics@lemmy.world) are on LW, a European instance, so it wouldn’t be the first time
They are not interconnected and you have to subscribe to all of them if you don’t want to miss anything.
Which is brought up repeatedly by people against the Fediverse and Lemmy for a reason not to come here. Having similar communities consolidated helps to defuse that.
This is not a case of !politics@hexbear.net vs !politics@lemmy.world. The two BuyEuropean communities look very similar, and the instances have similar moderation policies.
To be fair, we could just go to the EU one, I don’t really care, as long as it’s one rather than two or more.
@Sunshine@lemmy.ca @Lazycog@sopuli.xyz what to you think?
Communities consolidation happen all the time too, to avoid conversation split and decision fatigue

I think by now pretty much everyone here heard about Matrix at some point or another.
Personally I think Matrix and XMPP belong go the Fediverse in the loose sense. ActivityPub isn’t designed for messaging, and they offer good protocols for that.
