I think it's fair to presume a decent amount of overlapping users, especially given how many use the All feed.
Sure, so why not advocate in this community for combining the two, rather than targeting the users in that other community and complaining about the mod in that other community?
Well, I can't speak for Blaze or the other mods at all ... but this community (or at least Blaze and kinda myself) has already done the merging thing, and at that time it started with a conversation with the other mod. As this community has gone through that before, it makes sense that the idea is reasonable to (at least) the mods here, while the other community might be alien to the notion.
Beyond that, part of the motivation is to get more communities off of lemmy.world, which is an ideal felt pretty widely, if not universally, around lemmy/threadiverse ... so the suggestion was always to get them to merge with here (where, again, we've done the same before, forgoing this community to merge with another). So yea, talking about it here could have made sense (which is what this post is also about TBF, but also like I said, some neutral space for such discussions probably also makes sense), but I don't think talking about it there is a bad idea at all, rather I think it made sense, where, again, I just struggle with the notion that mods on lemmy are competitively trying to poach users from each other.
Thanks, well put.
!fedigrow@lemm.ee could be it
Probably ... I'm personally not subbed to fedigrow and that would be the problem, that most aren't either (which is fine, many are happy to just use the platform).
Perhaps something more dedicated to community discovery and recommendation instead? Basically like the "new communities" community, but more general.
Then I guess we should just promote !newcommunities@lemmy.world more.
Maybe, yea ... I don't know if the mods there would be happy for it to become a general community discussion/promotion space ... but I've thought from the beginning that that was coming as a natural evolution anyway. There should at least be a sibling community for discussing communities (though perhaps on a more neutral instance given that lemmy-world have banned some communities AFAIU?)
I posted there in the past following the !moviesandtv@lemm.ee drama, including links go the modlog and everything, the mods let the post untouched:

We can always give it a try and move if needed.
This community has been created to avoid overcentralization of Lemmy.world.
Also, if the LW community was actively managed I wouldn't mind (I regularly post to !avatar@lemmy.world, !lego@lemmy.world, !comicbooks@lemmy.world which are on LW), but they still don't have
Consolidation of communities is an issue that is regularly brought up on Lemmy, so that's what this whole suggestion was trying to address.
