Any interest in consolidation with LW Hardware community?
Would there be an interest with consolidating with the !hardware@lemmy.world community?
This one has more subs, but a lot less engagement and it seems the mod for this community deleted their account?
These things usually happens organically. Eventually one or two communities (with the same name) will be the only ones left.
And honestly, I believe if starting/moving a community, it’s better not to do it on the biggest servers.
I get it it's just that we have three hardware communities on different instances all with zero differentiation in terms of thematics.
I don't mind having multiple communities, but it's best when they offer a different angle on the same topic. Gaming vs. PC Gaming vs. Retrogaming. Specialized genre-focused communities and so on...
I agree. I don't see why "Hardware" need to exist multiple places.
Communities with a different angle (regional, focus) on the same topic are great. I personally don't see the point in multiple identical communities with zero differentiation, but that's just me.
