They seem redundant, selfhost seems to have a couple of rules, but they pretty much do the same thing, right?
I would prefer if they would be merged, it’s confusing and annoying to figure out which of both is bigger, since that’s all that matters. Also naming is nearly the same.
I just can’t see a difference.
I think the person that did the second community here, was not aware the first one already existed and took the name from a popular subreddit. Also the first one is run by a lemmy.ml site administrator.
