This community ([email protected]) isn't really used for anything else so the previous posts about specific topics are easy to see. They don't necessarily have many comments but it might help you find other places these images posted to.

It's too bad there are so many communities where this stuff is posted to, real downside of federated content if you ask me because it's so easy to miss content added in the comment of a duplicate post you never see.

I always advocate for consolidating [email protected] and [email protected] to [email protected] , but the mods of those two communities aren't open to the idea

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Why shall the to europe consolidate into feddit.uk (uk is not member of eu anymore) Why not the other way around?

But yes, itโ€˜s difficult to distinguish or choose between and follow the duplicates.

Maybe we should tell them it'll be like a European Union of EU communities! :p

Too bad, i'd be in favor as well. Even if two of them consolidate that would be a step in the right direction.

Wanted to take my time to respond to respond there, but decided against it. They want it to 'let it sort itself out', so I think it'd be better to let it go myself. What I will do is be more mindful when commenting or upvoting crossposts on less active instances and don't crosspost my own post to an instance I don't think adds anything to the wider Lemmy community. Might decide to end my subscription to the lesser active / newer communities.
