With reddit we mostly had a single subreddit for a given topic, for the sake of the question let’s use gaming. If there were alternative subreddits dedicated to the same topic, they had names that gave that away. Do you think Lemmy will lead to more segmentation, and more information bubbles seeing as we now can have gaming@x and gaming@y without a obvious way to see which community is the “default” one? Will it be a good thing, as you can find a community that suits your preferences better, or will it stifle discussion?
Yeah, it would be good for promoting community spirit I think.
Of course, there’s always the chance of it becoming a bit of an ego fight, mods refusing to crosslink to rival mods’ community, but it would hopefully work most of the time.
