Consolidating space communities? (sh.itjust.works)

We currently have quite a few:

!space@lemmy.world (most active, has had federation delays in the past)
!space@mander.xyz (active poster, topic-appropriate instance)
!space@lemmy.ml (active poster, inactive moderator)
!space@lemm.ee (low activity, unmoderated)
!space@sopuli.xyz (no active posters or moderators)

Dead instances

Do each of these communities serve a distinct purpose? If not, should we consolidate some of them?

I think the ManderXYZ instance is a nice match for the topic, but I am interested to hear what others think.

Sidebar and rules look good! Daily active users are trending upwards.

You might want to consider posting on !newcommunities@lemmy.world (as an "under new management" post) and on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca. I'd recommend spacing out the posts by a few days to reach more people.

Also, any idea what happened to Bee? Sal added Bee as a mod, Bee added you and Bitswap as mods, but now Bee's account and comments have vanished.
