Do you think Lemmy is hurt by having too many dead/low-PPM communities? - eviltoast

Title is a bit of a loaded question but I tried to fit it into one sentence.

Do you think Lemmy’s search and use functions are hurt by all the communities that were made and abandoned during the 2023 Redditfugee influx? As in, do you think that Lemmy would be better off if some of these communities were consolidated into larger general pages until it gets a big enough user base to warrant individual communities for specific TV shows, for example.

    a great feature would be to have the ability for users to consolidate feeds into a single feed

    We have this at Kbin - collections (like multireddits, but shareable/followable as well); they really help with discovery.

    It’s a great feature, I hope you get something like it for Lemmy.

      I think if we could get something like this and build an Apollo type UI around it, we’d accelerate adoption and some app builder would make a fair chunk of money. I’m not allowed to build apps, but I do hope someone takes this up.
