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.

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.

[-] Blaze@reddthat.com 5 points 5 months ago

It's happening.

!mapporn@lemmy.world got locked to consolidate people to !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz

We discuss this in !fedigrow@lemm.ee, if that's something that interests you

I mean, some of those are fragmented for a reason. Like, !gaming@beehaw.org 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 !gaming@beehaw.org aren't gonna shut down their community, because they can't use !games@lemmy.world. Ditto for lemmy.world people on !games@lemmy.world; they can't use !gaming@beehaw.org.

I subscribe to and enjoy both communities.
