Title is a bit of a loaded question but I tried to fit it into one sentence.
Do you think Lemmy’s search and use functions are hurt by all the communities that were made and abandoned during the 2023 Redditfugee influx? As in, do you think that Lemmy would be better off if some of these communities were consolidated into larger general pages until it gets a big enough user base to warrant individual communities for specific TV shows, for example.
@ragica it’s worked the opposite way so far.
People who made a bunch of communities and then didn’t participate are the ones who were displaced after the update by active mods. I help out at a couple like that myself.
The system can always be tweaked if it doesn’t scale right, but for now it’s been quite revitalizing.
Yeah, I’m not surprised this scheme generally works on a relatively small scale. And that’s great. It’s good to move ahead and try stuff. And I’ll be very interested to see what tweaks, if any, come in the future. It’s all good.
