As lemmy grows organically, there will be continuous increases in duplicate communities. This poses a long-term problem because I don't think most people want to subscribe to half a dozen or more communities that are essentially the same.

Is there any chance that the thought leaders of Lemmy which probably includes the largest servers owners could come together and start proposing ideas?

I see a potential troubling issue with the idea in terms of combining the existing history of the duplicates communities.

Perhaps a new concept of community@global could be thought through.

I mean it's the same on reddit, just that they have to have slightly different names.

I'm pretty sure that duplicates will sort them selves out organically over time.

yeah, multiple communities for any topic has ALWAYS been a thing, Im usually subbed to a 1/2 dozen on any given topic, and the better stuff is very often in the secondaries first.

im not sure what OP is on about but a bunch of migrants are saying this. I guess they are also young redditors and only see what the admins have given them.

I learned long ago that my home page has "different" due to being very old.
