    I disagree and think it’s fine how it is. I suppose if two want to link that would be fine but you might as well shut one down and move everyone over. People will always flock to whatever’s the more popular one. This could also flip with a competing community with better ideals/moderation/thoughts for engagement. I don’t see how lumping them all together really helps anything.

    This definitely isn’t the biggest issue.

      I think it’s fine if multiple of the “same” community exist.

      If I were on Snooface and wanted to share/discuss a new game would I do it on, r/Gaming, r/Games, or r/TrueGaming? (Or yet another.)

      If two communities are EXACTLY the same, then sure, merge them, but they are never EXACTLY the same.
