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.
On that topic, there's this thread that can interest you: https://lemmy.world/post/26618223
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.
