    Tbh it is a natural consequence of lemmy, and not a bad thing. The fediverse is decentralized, and intended such. It fosters a sort of “competition”

      I dont think this is a good model. Communities should be linked at least, and have stuff like “only post here” optionally (if there is any sense in that)

        Who decides what communities are linked? You’d need some kind of central authority to do that, but that would break decentralization.

        Multiple options for the same thing is good and should be accepted as normal. It’s only on the internet that we have learned to think otherwise.

        Wouldn’t it be weird if you only had one supermarket option to go to? I mean yea super markets mostly have the same stuff, but there’s a good reason not to have monopolies.

          Community admins would decide to link their communities. Another commenter shared a blog post about this very big issue

            Community admins would decide to link their communities.

            At this point, why not just shut down one of the communities and use the other one? What’s the point in linking them like this? That just makes it the same as one community, no?
