A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.

Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Even just looking through the list of communities I can already see two separate "Fediverse" communities on different servers. I'm assuming the posts aren't shared. How do we keep related discussion as central as possible? Just hope one wins and everyone posts there or is there a technical solution?

Just hope one wins and everyone posts there

That's one way.

Fragmentation exists even on centralized systems, though. (How many Dungeons & Dragons subreddits are there? How many are there about cats?) So it's probably best to temper expectations of one forum to rule them all, regardless of what platform we're on.

or is there a technical solution?

We may start seeing fediverse clients that can group related communities together and show them as a single feed, like multireddits.
