Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

No, you can ask one of the communities to effectively shut down and migrate to the other, but I don't think that is really worthwhile or needed.
To expand on it a little more, I'm not sure why you really want to combine them. I get the idea of thinking of a single source of truth/gathering place, but that's almost never actually been the case anywhere that I know of, and I think trying to force it will end up not actually serving the community well. I don't think anyone will suffer for having multiple communities and most people are very okay with cross posting and realizing that articles and the like will be posted in multiple places if they're interesting.
To be clear I don't think it's necessary at the moment, and the pace we are going at seems to be pretty good really. I just posted something into diy and had to stop and check creative to see which fit better, and it occurred to me that it could happen in the future that the overlap is more significant. Thanks for explaining though
I think it's an understandable desire/concern, especially as that's how a lot of communities present themselves. But if you think it fits in both I think it's worth cross posting!
