    they are different communities.

    The first one is a link to lemmy.world federated to neovim@sopuli and the second is a direct link to neovim on programming.dev

      Thanks for the reply. It seems disadvantageous that there are multiple lemmy communities for Neovim as it creates more fragmentation and confusion.

        Generally the hope is that people naturally converge on one community and then the other would die out. Or maybe resurge if for some reason people don’t like the first

    Yup, they’re different. No different content though just two communities set up for the exact same thing. I don’t think it’s a great idea personally as neither seem too active compared to both combined but it’s what the community wants.

    There’s a few more than that too, but these are the most active

      Considering it has more (and likely more active) moderators, I’d personally strongly advocate migration over to !neovim@programming.dev. The reason I made this one was because I’m even more passionate about this editor than anything I edit with it and had just grown impatient at no one prepping up a community for it. There’s value in being a member of both if one instance suffers outage, but I agree posting in more than one place hurts the community. Maybe I should make a pinned post about it, asking for input.

      Yeah. I feel the same. Although the idea of federation and ActivityPub protocal is very nice, I think it’ll be better for a single community, either official or a comunity cooperated one.

      I’m not sure its what’s the community wants, it’s probably just that consensus is difficult.

      I am a member of both communities, and I can’t really tell the difference. I would actually assume that that’s the case for most members in both communities. Consensus is probably closer than it seems, but as always, it’s easier to wait for a technical solution to a social problem.
