I'd say 'go for it', if only because 'as fuck' smells like a reddit-ism. Depends what the mods of this community feel about, I suppose.

Yes, that was also the issue I had with it.

@BoozeOrWater@lemm.ee is my alt, and Meldrik is mostly busy with their own instances and communities
To each their own, I suppose. "Interesting as fuck" may be a Reddit-ism or it may not, it's a lively name that captures the mood and intent of the community well: post things that make you go "wow, that's interesting as fuck!"
In my opinion, "Interesting shares" is an incredibly bland and lifeless name that doesn't really tell me anything about the community or make me want to subscribe. Though I suppose a community about interesting things having an uninteresting name is ironically funny.
Interesting perspective. How much impact has the name of the community on its success? I guess I'm okay with the name being uninteresting ha ha
I'm sure there is enough data available from Reddit to make some sort of study about names of subs and their impact on subscriber growth. Would be an interesting read for sure - interesting as fuck, even!
I dont think consolidation is a good idea but perhaps a pinned post directing people to also follow the other community?
Yeah, thoughtful community consolidation can help the fediverse grow as a healthy and fun place (like defederating Lemmy.ml).
Trust your gut, you probably know better than anyone. I think either name is fine.
