Having two similar communities on the same topic splits conversations, and give posters decision fatigue
Edit: some topics have consolidated their communities to avoid that, example from a few months ago: https://lemm.ee/post/46935805
Edit2: the UK community has a lot of different mod. The .org community only has one, who hasn't been active since 8 days.
You're viewing a single thread.
This happens all the time. .org is a German-first instance, I believe, so that's a reason for the community to exist. Just cross-post.

Wow, you're actually mentioned in that post...

Sure... And despite being a German instance, .org's posts are all in English... I don't know. I'm not against it.
Feddit.org has German and English speaking communities - if you check out their instance, communities like [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] are among the most active there.
That's not really the point though. It's a maybe bit ironic to have the dominant "buy European" community hosted at feddit.uk, but I'm all for it. Would love to see them join forces.

I meant the BuyFromEU community hosted on feddit.org, not .org as a whole...
Ah, yeah. I think they realized having all their communities in mixed languages would get messy.

Most of the US communities ([email protected], [email protected]) are on LW, a European instance, so it wouldn't be the first time
Don't get me started on the irony of those! :)
