There are many communities that are similar on different instances, firefox for example.

Sometimes they are identical and should merge, sometimes due to the specific audience of the instance, it’s better to keep them separate.

I wouldn’t suggest merging !movies@lemmy.world and !movies@hexbear.net

Would be nice if lemmy supports something like multi Reddit with the option of hiding duplicate posts.

Mbin does support multireddits, but this doesn’t seem to be interesting enough for people to switch to it (while Lemmy communities are fully accessible from Mbin)

A lot of them have been abandoned now.

Indeed, we should definitely consolidate

OP isn’t a bot, I’ve seen some of their posts in the last few days. They are just happy to have joined the Fediverse

Hello,

Good to see you! FYI, we created !fedigrow@lemm.ee yesterday to discuss how to grow communities on the Fediverse, I thought you might be interested.

See you around!

All good then!

You can make all the suggestions you want, but realistically they are probably not going to get implemented before a very long time, if at all.

And that’s why Lemmy development is slow, lot of people have suggestions, but only a few can implement them

Open a pull request?

First quarter since IPO?

Good luck with your community!
