    1. As time goes one community will emerge as the main one while other would dry up and naturally become obsolete (until people get angry with the mods of main one and start looking for alternative community, similar to how there are r/truegaming, r/true(x) etc for popular subreddits.)

    2. There are many open PRs on lemmy github on how to aggregate similar communities. For example there is a suggestion of making an auto multireddit like thing, m/gaming for example, that would merge posts from every c/gaming community (not sure how this would work with defederation and stuff). With enough demand, something like that can be added to lemmy by an experienced dev.

        Things like defederation and having communities with the same topic on different instances are actually good things, they’re features of the Fediverse not problems.

        It takes a bit of adapting to the Fediverse mindset as opposed to the centralized platform mindset but there are solutions:

        • Having multiple communities like OP said is a good thing, let’s see which one rises to the top.
        • There are already Lemmy clients that can subscribe to accounts on multiple instances and merge everything seamlessly for you.
        • A multireddit-like feature will probably be implemented eventually, and I suspect it will also be a client feature not a server feature, because it makes much more sense on the client.

        The beehaw and world defederation (which I assume you are referencing) is temporary because beehaw believes the increased traffic cannot be moderated without proper mod tools.

        And while you’re right about mainstream things like gaming or technology won’t have a single main community, I feel more niche communities will be able to setup their main communities. Obviouly that’s just my opinion, but there are some signs of that happening already. (c/piracy for example)
