Hogwarts looks like a fun game that I could play casually overtime. Happy Holidays!!

Sure, but I feel like there is still fluctuation and more often than not a varying degree of activity and posts that it makes it hard to stick to just one (identical) community for now. I'm sure it'll settle over time though.

That's pretty cool, I haven't tried out Kbin yet, might have to check it out!

Same, on many topics. How would I know which community will have the most activity, or none at all. It's my biggest issue here. Not a deal breaker, but annoying.

Why couldn't one of the communities abandoned just be dropped from the 'group' then. Or have Moderators from several communities work together to moderate a larger one. They are still federated, just working together. If one becomes obsolete, defederate it or let it be. Why should I have to be subscribed to the same topic several times to find the discussion?

That's a fair point, but one wins out usually, where with the lemmy numbers they seem to remain split with the smaller communities.

I've been on lemmy for several months now and most communities are completely split and activity on any given 'news topic' (as an example) varies widely on 0-50+ comments for the same topic popping up on the feed from several identical communities from varying instances. (Which is why grouping might be an alternative solution)

I was just addressing my concerns with Lemmy, for now. One of my suggestions (grouping communities) is one that could solve some of the issues with op's questions.

I don't feel like that answered the op question. As an example, every general 'gaming' instance that is federated can see each other, so I subscribe to every one I can find, but then I get some posts four times in a row (or more) with varying activity. (Hence the split community point).

I wish communities could be grouped in some way.

Either they go by the wayside or take control of a topic as of now.

Also, what if I'm subscribed to the community that isn't the active one, I have to constantly find new ones to keep up instead of just my feed for that topic?

Edit: part of growing the community has to be ease of access to content, that still seems limited on lemmy, for now

It's also a saturated market because of the low barrier of entry, without an advertising budget you are taking a gamble no matter how good the gameplay is.

The reddit API cost change that killed all popular third party apps.

The Texas Observer is a reputable site. It's one of the last surviving papers in Texas with actual investigative journalists.

Wtf does dell profits have to do with this? Pretty heartless. Imagine your loved one committed suicide and this number was what was the only thing associated with them.
