Can we do something about all these communities that are exactly the same in all but name? There’s no reason to have 15 communities about bdsm or Latex fetish or fuckin FUTA/trans.

I’m not hating on anyone’s preferences but we shouldn’t have multiple communities that have the exact same content but with a dumb twist to the name.

      Yup. Same issue that Reddit had, with the same solution. Some will get popular and thrive, and the ones that don’t will eventually just sticky a link to the most popular community instead.

      Eventually, the popular ones will get too popular, and you’ll start seeing the “True_[x]” communities start popping up

        this is the way, even things like linux distros do this, fascinating to watch though

      Totally true and I think actually beneficial to have that diversity ( and I doubt all of the duplicates are truly the exact same.) My feeling is let the mods of these communities to prove themselves and their committment over time.

        Idk. I agree. But i also see some possibility that this will fragment a community. And make every one of those copies less fun for a potential user than - lets say - on a competing social media platform. Anyways things haven’t settled yet. We’ll see.
