Title is a bit of a loaded question but I tried to fit it into one sentence.
Do you think Lemmy’s search and use functions are hurt by all the communities that were made and abandoned during the 2023 Redditfugee influx? As in, do you think that Lemmy would be better off if some of these communities were consolidated into larger general pages until it gets a big enough user base to warrant individual communities for specific TV shows, for example.
What hurts Lemmy more are the communities that are repost bot communities.
I get the need for the repost bots during the starts of the migration of Reddit users to Lemmy, but these days they just make it hard to be seen in some communities, they prevent new original content to develop in those communities as no one will want to post just to have their post drowned out by content that doesn’t even come from this place.
