  I miss having a centralized community for Blender 3D modeling and sculpting like what Reddit has. I genuinely feel that this site has enough users to bring back a similar feeling community, but it seems that on Lemmy everything is so spread out. Seeing how I have finally visited the above communities and saw how sparce the content is I really feel we should/could condense the Blender topic down to one community, while also leaving a link in the about page of older lesser active places to take users to the most active location: !blender@lemmy.world. Is this something that the fediverse is also looking forward to accomplishing?

Edit: I am being told that one of these instances has shut down, so I feel that's just another good reason to consolidate these communities 😅

Edit 2: Not sure what the outcome has been since the most comments were saying was about the dead/inactive communities. So if anyone is looking for an active Blender community go to: !blender@lemmy.world
