I made a blog post on my biggest issue in Lemmy and the proposed solutions for it. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I'm aware that people are slowly grouping up to one specific community per topic but I don't think this means there isn't an issue with communities being fractured. Using a third party tool to gauge which communities are popular also isn't a great solution. Just searching Linux shows:

I don't think each one of these communities has a different audience. It's the same audience, but there isn't an obvious answer for which one to visit or post in.

Id say that the obvious answer is the Linux community with the most members. [email protected] has more than double the number of subscribers of the next most active Linux community.

You don't need an account on lemmy.ml to subscribe to any community there. For example, I run my own self-hosted instance and none of the communities I'm subscribed to are from my own instance.
