Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I don't see this as a problem at all. The internet has always been this way. If there was one singular Linux community in the Fediverse and you had to go there to discuss the topic, you'd just have Reddit. And Reddit already exists.
the centralization of people also was a more recent thing. I remember specialized smaller forums and websites used to be more popular when I was younger. hell even earlier with GeoCities people had their homepage and blogs.
and even with discord and twitter people had their own small groups that may seem "redundant".
It also happens on Reddit too. There's like 3 AITA subs, a few subs for Making a Murderer because I guess someone had some issues with the mods of the original one being a cop or something.
I don't see anything different with lemmy honestly, but it would be nice to have the option to kind of merge into bigger ones. I imagine that's in the roadmap at some point.
yep - we could use better tools to navigate the Fediverse, but this is 100% the intended nature of the platform.
