For example !memes@lemmy.world lists some sister communities. Are sister communities just communities with related topics? Also some communities have partner communities, does this refer to the same thing?

    If someone modded c/PinkFloyd, c/TheWho, and c/DeepPurple they might be listed as partner communities.

    That’s a lot of administration to do when a mod stops or a mod is added.

      I’ve assumed they don’t necessarily all have the same mods, and are usually much smaller, niche communities that on Reddit at least wouldn’t see much traffic and wouldn’t necessarily have to worry about spam the way the fediverse does. And I could be making up a distinction between sister/partner communities that doesn’t actually exist just going from my own assumptions.
