Smaller communities have trouble growing when they are scattered and competing with one another. Focusing on one community can help a lot with growth (a few people posting to a few small communities vs. all of them posting to the same larger community).

@sh.itjust.works made a post here to discuss consolidating the Electric Vehicle communities: https://lemm.ee/post/46935805
Since this community hasn't had a post in a year and the mod hasn't been active, it was proposed that we lock the community and pin a post directing users to the chosen community (currently it looks to be !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net ). Then, if at any point people don't like how that community is being run, there is always the option of unlocking these other communities.
I'm in favour of locking and redirecting, but I wanted to get feedback first :)
