I appreciate the effort, but what is happening is option 1, aka merging of communities, naturally.
About knowing where to post, you can usually have a look at https://lemmyverse.net/communities, search the community name, and have a good idea of which one is the most active.
Sometimes different communities can coexist, and that's fine. [email protected] and [email protected] have different audiences, and that's okay.
I'm aware that people are slowly grouping up to one specific community per topic but I don't think this means there isn't an issue with communities being fractured. Using a third party tool to gauge which communities are popular also isn't a great solution. Just searching Linux shows:
I don't think each one of these communities has a different audience. It's the same audience, but there isn't an obvious answer for which one to visit or post in.
Id say that the obvious answer is the Linux community with the most members. [email protected] has more than double the number of subscribers of the next most active Linux community.
But then you’re on .ml
.ml is okay to discuss Linux, the overlap between the two communities makes sense
The overlap between authoritarians and Linux?
Well I suppose North Korea does run the closed source RedStarOS.
what makes you think they are authoritarian?
Because we all know how tankies are, so stop acting coy.
Maybe you should go conquer some bread instead of trying to defend maoists and stalinists.
no one is defending maoists or stalinists.
You’re saying no one on .ml defends maoists and stalinists???
I bet nutomic has Che as their avatar for no reason at all.
parentis_shotgun posts in juche_gang on reddit for irony?
>You’re saying no one on .ml defends maoists and stalinists???
no, i'm saying no one here is.
and i don't think it's a major theme of there linux community either.
