There’s another community already for patient gamers here: !patientgamers@lemmy.ml.
Consider consolidating to just one community to not split our relatively small group.
I’ve joined both, but will probably be more active at the other.
I don’t think it’s a “dupe”. The same community can have different rules or expectations or culture in different places, and eventually, people will settle down where they feel comfortable. For some, that’s the most populated place, for others, the one that aligns best with their own interests and vibe.
Personally, I’d rather not get invested in the .ml place, considering who’s running the instance.
Exactly, and when/if we get a way to group them together “multireddit style”, then it’s going to be even less of an issue hopefully.
I imagine there will be many duplicates of several subs over the next while. That means Highlander rules will eventually go into effect!
Fair, and I’m completely expecting that, which is why I’ve subbed to several related communities with the expectation that I’ll be culling that list.
That said, sometimes communities can be hard to find, and the other already seemed to have good engagement, so it seemed like a good place to point people toward.
I just wish there was a better way to vet the admins of each community and the owners of each instance. I’m happy to create my own instance if needed, but I’d rather build a community than build an instance.
I don’t think trying to centralize a community that relies on a decentralized platform is a very great idea. I get what you’re going for but I think the little pocket communities add a layer of safety from bad actors.
