Didn’t think about it before, but saw this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/26747873
Lemmy tends to have duplicate communities between different instances for many subjects, and this can make it hard to find information here. For instance, if i want to know if anyone has made a constructed language for birds, i have to go to the communities list and search for “conlang” and “constructed language”, open every relevant community i find, and search each of those.
The Lemmy search feature quite good, but having all the knowledge about one topic on one community makes it even better
There is a GitHub issue, but no planned deadline: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818
Oh, I definitely agree!
Technology is a very widely discussed topic on Lemmy, so having different communities makes sense.
I was more thinking about the case above. I don’t think conlangs have enough of a user base to split across different communities, with adding hurdles to search for content about that topic on top.
