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.

Or is this what the fediverse is supposed to look like?

I read before somebody said that we might be able to combine similar communities at some point but don't know if that's true.

I've found that similar communities on different instances can have VERY different experiences in terms of the community and attitude. I know I'm generalizing, but I feel a lot of Lemmy.world instances are more negative and hostile than similar instances on beehaw.org. Personally, I'd rather they stay separate. That way I can be more precise on dialing in the experience I want.
