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.

It’s a maybe bit ironic to have the dominant “buy European” community hosted at feddit.uk, but I’m all for it.

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! :)
