Can this be instantly achieved? Or is it inevitable that this process of reaggregation into single community will continue for a long time (months or even years)? Let’s discuss!

I personally am not a mod of any subreddit. I just had this question arise in my brain.

    I think that time will tell which one ends up winning the race.

    What I usually do is checking for activity, in terms of recent posts, comments, and whatnot. If both show similar activity levels, I’ll just subscribe to both and keep watching for developments.

    Now I’m wondering if I should try and recreate r/CuratedTumblr here, cause they all just kinda went to either tumblr or discord I think

      Please do! I miss looking at Tumblr posts.

      … Not enough to actually go on Tumblr, though.

          Huh, it wasn’t coming up in a search for me. I had to try searching for it like three times and the first time I clicked your link I got a server error. Well, I guess the Lemmy servers are a bit screwy right now. Thanks for the link!

          I assume that creating a whole server/instance takes some kind of resources and cost, but I think just opening a community is free? I haven’t tried it yet though.

          You have to pay to host an instance, but you don’t need to host an entire instance just to create a community. On your home instance (the one you signed up for) just create a new community there. Other instances will eventually be able to communicate with it

    @Hedup Anyone who opens a #Lemmy community (or #kbin)) should check in advance whether there is already one on the same topic. Most of the existing ones can be found here via this search function: browse.feddit.de/browse.feddit.de/.
    If there is already a community, you can see or ask the moderators how it is organised (e.g. rules) and if it suits you, perhaps help out as an additional moderator. But maybe the orientation is different and then more than one community would make sense.
