It’s my hope to see unity and cohesion is the Lemmy-verse. Looks like asklemmy@lemmy.ml has over 39k subscribers.
Is there a way that this same conversation can “merge” with that one so that this one can be archived there?
How are Lemmy instances coping with two great ideas that might have come up at the same time but one has a lot more traction?
And true story: I’m not trying to start anything. I’m sincerely trying to promote Lemmy and perfect it — this would just be sanding the edges?
On a certain level, isn’t this against its basic idea? A variety of instances/sites connecting with each other seems more the point of federation than a unified/coherent whole.
The tripping point/growing pain for these various instances/sites at the moment seems to be there’s more similar, likeminded groups adopting the software to spin them up than there are distinct groups to create the variety that might reduce/mitigate redundant communities (in the Lemmy sense of that term).

I think it’s normal that we want to have a name for the network itself. Like we use Mastodon for microblogging-over-activitypub, I feel a need to have a name for reddit-over-activitypub. I use the word #Lemmy for that.
You can argue that that’s wrong. I would probably agree, but without an alternative, I will say that.
