Consolidating crow, raven, and corvid communities? (sh.itjust.works)

There are two fairly active communities with almost identical topics:

The community on ml is named "crows" but its scope includes "crows, ravens, and other corvids".

Taking into account the community names, overlapping topics, instance size, and other issues with ml, might we consider consolidating towards sopuli.xyz?

I am neutral and will post wherever is most active

Thanks for your input!

I would just like to note that using the algorithm of "posting wherever is most active" will usually result in consolidating to the largest instance, which is not ideal for the health of the fediverse as a whole.

While true, nobody really wants to post to a dead community either, you know? Sort of a self-perpetuating problem.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

True, though sometimes all it takes to grow a community is one or two users posting consistently. And in this case, both communities have a similar level of activity.

The disrespect. Unbelievable.

@Mechanismatic@lemmy.ml it is so nice to see that !crows@lemmy.ml has a few more regular posters now! The actual crow community on the lemmyverse!
