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...

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! :)
