Having two similar communities on the same topic splits conversations, and give posters decision fatigue

Edit: some topics have consolidated their communities to avoid that, example from a few months ago: https://lemm.ee/post/46935805

Edit2: the UK community has a lot of different mod. The .org community only has one, who hasn't been active since 8 days.

Communities consolidation happen all the time too, to avoid conversation split and decision fatigue

Wow, you're actually mentioned in that post...

to avoid conversation split and decision fatigue

Sure... And despite being a German instance, .org's posts are all in English... I don't know. I'm not against it.

Feddit.org has German and English speaking communities - if you check out their instance, communities like !dach@feddit.org, !deutschland@feddit.org, and !ich_iel@feddit.org are among the most active there.

That's not really the point though. It's a maybe bit ironic to have the dominant "buy European" community hosted at feddit.uk, but I'm all for it. Would love to see them join forces.

I meant the BuyFromEU community hosted on feddit.org, not .org as a whole...

Ah, yeah. I think they realized having all their communities in mixed languages would get messy.

Most of the US communities (!news@lemmy.world, !politics@lemmy.world) are on LW, a European instance, so it wouldn't be the first time

Don't get me started on the irony of those! :)
