I don’t think so. I mean, even if an instance with an important community has a problem (e.g. goes offline) we can simply create that community on another instance, but as long as there are no problems I think it’s better to have just one community.
I chose vlemmy.net for the exact same reason, too. Also it was the top instance on join-lemmy.org/instances the day I wanted to join another instance (I was on lemmy.ml then).
Playing around with PeppermintOS on a "new " old laptop, and having fun. Its making me realize that tiny things can really work to impress. (Especially when you're waiting on a ram upgrade, haha!)...
Data on search engine market share is available, but I wonder what that looks like for Lemmy users in particular, who I would assume lean more technical than the average user, so probably use DuckDuckGo and alternates more than Google....
Even more strange is that when I type "PeerTube", some suggestions appear, but searching any of them will end up back on the "no results found" page....
Searching “PeerTube” doesn’t return any results. peertube (all lower case) doesn’t return anything either. What’s funny is that “pertube” returns the correct results for “PeerTube”. It seems like it works like this: If the IP requesting the search is from my country and it’s searching PeerTube or peertube it’s going to block the search. But why should it?! PeerTube isn’t blocked here. YouTube is though.
Here is my explanation why open-sourcing a program is a good idea. I hope it helps you.
Anyone who can will be able to read the code (and that means if someone tries to add malicious code people would notice), and it also makes it easier to contribute to the program, programmer or not. Programmers can fix the program on their own and then ask for their fix to be added. Or, if they don’t know why something isn’t working (or don’t have time, or aren’t programmers at all), they can create an issue: it’s like a post, and anyone can comment on it. If the main programmer/s didn’t find out what was wrong, then someone else might.

Is it a good thing if there are identical communities on different instances?
Is it worthwhile to try to get mods to combine them? It just seems like a bit of a waste when trying to grow a community and its split in two....

Does it actually matter?

What search engine do you use?
Data on search engine market share is available, but I wonder what that looks like for Lemmy users in particular, who I would assume lean more technical than the average user, so probably use DuckDuckGo and alternates more than Google....
What open source keyboard alternative you suggest instead of gBoard on Android?
I’m trying to build my own degoogled ROM for me, so what are you suggesting? For now I’m on OpenBoard.
Why doesn't DuckDuckGo return any results for "PeerTube"? (vlemmy.net)
Even more strange is that when I type "PeerTube", some suggestions appear, but searching any of them will end up back on the "no results found" page....
I wrote my own streaming app for Android TV. Do you want me to open source it? (kbin.social)
I've been using my own streaming app for the past few years now....
