      Well, on the optimistic side: two thriving but redundant communities is better than two stagnant communities.

      Maybe you can embrace it. Like, have inter-community events such as a regular monthly discussion that alternates between communities. It’s only a problem when there are duplicate posts, right?

    Ive made two communities, !gameclub@sopuli.xyz and !wizards@lemmy.world. Wizards recently broke 500 subs and is seeing posts by other users so thats really cool. Gameclub was abandoned awhile back but Ive retooled it and I still think it can serve as a catchall/casual/meme space on the site. I am posting more on other lemmy gaming communities to keep them active as well.

    I stepped into a temporary position as a stopgap when the old mod of !bisexual@lemmy.world was taking a leave of abscence and it kind of bit me in the ass when the first post in months hit over 200 comments and 15 reports. I’ve added a couple new mods and Im open to adding more if anyone seems interested.

    In all honesty I’ve started using tumblr more than lemmy, which on one hand is good as it gives me more content to post but on the other hand it means Im not here as often commenting and keeping an eye on things.

    I have to say I’m really damn happy with the first half-year of !dungeonmeshi@ani.social.

    MAU is still nearly double the sub-count so there’s tons of interest.

    The first season has now finished airing, but I’m going to run a series of manga discussion threads while continuing the usual posts, which should help the people who don’t watch seasonally find their way to the community.

    The anime adaptation turned out absolutely stellar, and as more people watch it now that a season is out to binge in full, I’m certain this fandom will only continue to grow.
