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
Search is going to be simplified, as per the comment before yours in the thread that you linked: https://lemmy.world/comment/15652535
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818
So this will be less of a problem later down the road, and no need to consolidate communities.
Just to confirm, this issue is still open, with no planned deadline?
Don’t ask me, I’m not in charge.
It seems a bit disingenuous that that decided to omit that comment in your write-up though.
No worries, I just wanted to check if I was missing something.
Not sure if it’s disingenuous to omit a comment saying it will be fixed “some day” while people are experiencing those issues now. I still added this at the end for complete context.
