When you look at https://beehaw.org/communities, you can see that there are only a few communities, but they are diverse enough to cover most of the topics you would have to discuss on the Internet.

I sometimes think that could be a model we could try to replicate across several instances:

It would allow to aggregate people around a few core communities and avoid dispersion and fragmentation. Of course, it would need some agreements in the community, and some people would probably want to keep their community as “the main one” opposed to the other, but that could still be valuable.

What do you think?

    That’s more or less the idea. Fragmentation doesn’t really benefit us except when the topic is that popular that conversations can happen in parallel (technology or news for instance)
