I appreciate the effort, but what is happening is option 1, aka merging of communities, naturally.

About knowing where to post, you can usually have a look at https://lemmyverse.net/communities, search the community name, and have a good idea of which one is the most active.

Sometimes different communities can coexist, and that’s fine. !science@mander.xyz and !science@lemmy.world have different audiences, and that’s okay.

Don’t know about Murena, but Disroot is a solid choice

From what I remember, the mbin team was indeed discussing it. I don’t remember the details, but I think it was aligned with what you are saying.

I think so, that’s not that big of a deal, is it?

https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin has more active development

If they go close source, other people will take the last version of the code and build on it

There are several case of divides, such as !moviesandtv@lemmy.film and @movies@lemmy.world

I can see the genuine need to post to several communities at once

Liftoff has been doing that for A while

Have a look at this post, we had a similar discussion there: https://lemmy.world/post/3074361

Long story short, the platform still needs a bit of work before being able to really move communities. Some examples exist (lemdro.id, piracy, startrek) but those are tech savvy audiences, there would be a lot more friction with more generalist communities

Sorry for this, feel free to block all of the communities related to the topics. That should allow smaller ones to come to your feed.

Pictures, food, movies communities are rising, there is hope
