Wouldn’t it be better to merge than to compete?
Edit: Looks like the community on lemmy.ml is pretty much dead.

!guildwars2@lemmy.ml is pretty dead, but I don’t see why !guildwars2@lemmy.wtf and !guildwars2@kbin.social couldn’t co-exist. They are even on two different platforms.
Well, I’m currently subscribed to all 3 and since federation now works with kbin.social I can access their GW2 community just like it were on a native lemmy instance. Which is pretty cool.
I’m subscribed to the ml as well as kbin and have accounts in both but I can’t seem to view posts from the ml there alongside the kbin ones. I can see that the ml is linked and I can subscribe to it, but how do I get the kbin to show a merger of both?
Also shouldn’t we link the wtf instance too in the kbin?
Usually you don’t need accounts on other instances to interact with their communities, e. g. my account is on lemmy.world, but I’m subscribed to 3 GW2 communities on 3 different instances one of which even being a different platform (
kbinand notlemmy).These communities now appear as if they were on my instance, but are in fact local copies which are synchronized/federated using the
ActivityPubprotocol.Note that these communities are not merged, i .e. they still appear as separate communities, but there is a (pretty popular) feature request for this on
GitHub.Support for grouping communities / multi-communities #818
I don’t know whether federation from
lemmytokbinis currently supported. I’m only using the other direction.
