Lemmy hasn’t really gotten over the fragmentation of communities. There are multiple gaming subs, some have double digit users, some have thousands. That shit needs to be consolidated.
I mean, some of those are fragmented for a reason. Like, [email protected] is pretty decent, but beehaw.org has a low bar for defederating from other instances, and has defederated from lemmy.world, which is the largest Lemmy instance, so anyone using lemmy.world as their home instance can’t use that community.

Reddit is like that too though, games, gaming, videogames, gamers, pcgaming, etc.
True, but Lemmy doesn’t have the number of users needed to populate so many subs.
It’s happening.
[email protected] got locked to consolidate people to [email protected]
We discuss this in [email protected], if that’s something that interests you

Beehaw.org’s not gonna refederate due to the split – that was intentional. The people on [email protected] aren’t gonna shut down their community, because they can’t use [email protected]. Ditto for lemmy.world people on [email protected]; they can’t use [email protected].
I subscribe to and enjoy both communities.
What was the drama there?
I don’t know the specifics.
