Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Is it possible to merge communities? (beehaw.org)

I still don't entirely understand how it works here. But I had the thought that if following a spree of making new communities, two ended up quite similar in content and user base, would it then be possible to merge them together?

If they are running on different instances, I think it's a good thing to have duplicate communities. Unlike other sites each instance don't have piles of money and infrastructure. In the next few months I expect that serval instances of Lemmy will go down and having the redundancies will be a real lifesaver for those communities.
