I am new lemmy user and I wanted to whether there are different nvim communities or same ones like,
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !neovim@sopuli.xyz, !neovim@programming.dev
they are different communities.
The first one is a link to lemmy.world federated to neovim@sopuli and the second is a direct link to neovim on programming.dev
Thanks for the reply. It seems disadvantageous that there are multiple lemmy communities for Neovim as it creates more fragmentation and confusion.
Generally the hope is that people naturally converge on one community and then the other would die out. Or maybe resurge if for some reason people don’t like the first
Yup, they’re different. No different content though just two communities set up for the exact same thing. I don’t think it’s a great idea personally as neither seem too active compared to both combined but it’s what the community wants.
There’s a few more than that too, but these are the most active
Considering it has more (and likely more active) moderators, I’d personally strongly advocate migration over to !neovim@programming.dev. The reason I made this one was because I’m even more passionate about this editor than anything I edit with it and had just grown impatient at no one prepping up a community for it. There’s value in being a member of both if one instance suffers outage, but I agree posting in more than one place hurts the community. Maybe I should make a pinned post about it, asking for input.

Yeah. I feel the same. Although the idea of federation and ActivityPub protocal is very nice, I think it’ll be better for a single community, either official or a comunity cooperated one.
