Given the variety of perspectives shared in that thread, I don’t think that a single community will be able to satisfy everyone.

As such, I have come up wit the following split:

While it does fragment the userbase (always a risk with in the fediverse), it would put give individual users the maximum amount of choice for what posts they wish to see in their feed, and what topics they wish to discuss.

I am interested in hearing people’s thoughts.

    From a purely posts perspective, then yes, two communities would suffice. However, from a comments perspective, I think the middle community may still be necessary.

    Folks in !jkrowling@lemmy.blahaj.zone would likely not appreciate Harry Potter discussion, and folks in !harrypotter@lemmy.zip would likely not appreciate JKR discussion. Keeping !harrypotter@literature.cafe open allows for the discussion of both aspects in the same thread.

      so keep this instance as it was originally intended and make a new rule about jkrowling posts going to their appropriate instance.

      seems an easy solution that doesn’t require so much spread.
