Is it worthwhile to try to get mods to combine them? It just seems like a bit of a waste when trying to grow a community and its split in two.

Or is this what the fediverse is supposed to look like?

I read before somebody said that we might be able to combine similar communities at some point but don’t know if that’s true.

    That’s exactly what happened with reddit, I think it’s better to have more than one, worst case scenario you only sub to one and if it goes down there’s a quick alternative.

    Personally I sub to both and if an article repeats no big deal I just move on

      I think the type of communities you want to see affects how you look at the repetition aspect.

      I like to use the sports communities for news/discussion around the time an event is taking place. Following live speedy discussion doesn’t quite work as seamlessly on two different communities. You just kind of end up picking one community and post there.
