Seems we’ve got two communities [email protected] and [email protected].

Got nothing against multiple communities and diversity etc, but in this case I’m thinking it might be unnecessary? Was there an argument amongst mods?

If true, I don’t know what to do exactly, but figure some discussions around what people would prefer might help.

For me, I’d collapse down to one community, merge the moderators, and create some basic spoiler guidelines to separate non-book readers from book discussion and spoilers for the show etc.

    Having 2 communities on the same instance seems like overkill with the current user base. I could see if they were on separate instances, however combining them seems like a good idea.

      Yea, even apart from the same instance thing (where lemmy.ml is basically federating with just about every other (reasonable) instance AFAIK), lemmy is just not that big a place … getting cozy with each other is probably for the best.

      Like all of the “News” communities are pretty overkill.

        Especially with a more niche community like this, there’s probably more books than users.

    That’s a fair point. I tried to split the communities how they were in reddit because I felt they draw a very different set of folks.

    Honestly, I have no objection to merging the two into 1. I’m still learning Lemmy now that I left Reddit, and I’m trying to fill the gaps in content I find as best I can.
