That's nice. Hopefully thanks to this outcome. More niche hobbyist community's will appear on lemmy ~~And hopefully less auth left tankies~~ I would like to see more posts and communities that bring more people together and not apart. Arts and crafts,Gaming,music,History,Exercise,Cooking,foraging Essentially the world's the oyster. There's a million hobbies out there I would hope there's a good amount of Lemmy communities based upon those hobbies

Lemmy hasn't really gotten over the fragmentation of communities. There are multiple gaming subs, some have double digit users, some have thousands. That shit needs to be consolidated.

It's happening.

[email protected] got locked to consolidate people to [email protected]

We discuss this in [email protected], if that's something that interests you

Reddit is like that too though, games, gaming, videogames, gamers, pcgaming, etc.

True, but Lemmy doesn't have the number of users needed to populate so many subs.

I mean, some of those are fragmented for a reason. Like, [email protected] is pretty decent, but beehaw.org has a low bar for defederating from other instances, and has defederated from lemmy.world, which is the largest Lemmy instance, so anyone using lemmy.world as their home instance can't use that community.

Beehaw.org's not gonna refederate due to the split -- that was intentional. The people on [email protected] aren't gonna shut down their community, because they can't use [email protected]. Ditto for lemmy.world people on [email protected]; they can't use [email protected].

I subscribe to and enjoy both communities.

Be the change you want to see - share interesting posts, start communities if you see a niche, etc.
