Is it possible to consolidate with a ML community? (lemmy.world)

I mod and post at !hardware@lemmy.world.

There is also !hardware@lemmy.ml, it has much more subs (~5K), but a lot less engagement. The ML community's mod also seems to have deleted their account?

I am not acquainted with the process for community consolidation and I am not sure if ML takes part in such initiatives. Do I need to reach out to the ML admins? What would be the next step if I wanted to propose !hardware@lemmy.ml to be merged into !hardware@lemmy.world ?

Community consolidation is antithetical to how the fediverse works. If you want to increase the number of users in your community then work on increasing the number and quality of posts, and mention the community in related spaces. Please don't attempt hostile takeovers of communities on other instances just because they have the same name.

No, considering how small the fediverse is, it needs to be more active. And you get that by having 20 users in 1 place rather than 10 over here, and 10 over there.

When the fediverse gets to a point where Lemmy has hundreds of millions of users, THEN it'll have the life force to support duplicate communities.

Man this does not make you look good. Like, they told you to stop.

I don't agree with their perspective on this, and I think we should in general be trying to consolidate communities right now, but if the mods told you to stop, you should have laid off it for a while at least.

I'm a mod here. If I were to tell you to stop commenting here "because the mod team decided so", how would you react? That's the whole point of !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com , to call out power tripping mods
