Right now on Lemmy we have a bunch of dad-based communities with varying levels of discussion. From the ones I can find, we have:
!dadworld@lemmy.world - last few posts were about a month ago. Mod was last active 10 months ago.
!daddit@kbin.social - last couple posts were about 2 months ago. The post before that was about 5 months ago. Not sure about mod activity.
!dads@feddit.uk - last post was yesterday, with some other posts in past few weeks. Mod was last active 6 months ago.
!dadsonly@lemmy.world - last post was a few weeks ago, with a couple months in between posts after that. Mod was last active 10 months ago.
!dadsplain@lemmy.ca - last couple posts were a week ago. With about a month or so between posts after that. Both mods were last active a year ago.
!dadvice@lemmy.world - last post was 3 months ago. Mod was last active 2 months ago.
!fatherverse@midwest.social - last post was about a month ago, and the one before that was about 4 months ago. Mod was last active today.
To help facilitate discussion, what do you all think about consolidating the dad-based discussion to one of those groups (preferably a somewhat moderated one, which just seems to be fatherverse…) for now?
Consolidating communities defeats part of the purpose of federation and decentralization.
Was thinking the same, but it would be nice to have a way to group all the similar communities together, just for viewing organization.
The Summit app allows that
I have used Summit and Sync that had that feature, where I got the idea. I currently use Boost, my favorite so far, but doesn't group yet.
For easy grouping, until lemmy itself has a "multi" function, apps fill the gap okay. Not great, but it does work if one uses apps at all.
