Agree, the fragmentation of communities is a stumbling block for adoption and for the coalescing of users to solidified groups that adopt identities and cultures. This is a huge advantage when looking at centralized systems like reddit. My hope is that there will be some version of natural selection but that it occurs sooner than later

Even on reddit their were multiple subreddits that were very similar. r/oculus r/oculusquest r/quest2 r/virualreality and many more ar and xr subbreddits I was subscribed to. Much of the same content were on all of them. As the user base here grows it won't be an issue, some similar communities will be bigger some smaller and there's room for everything.

Yeah i hope this happens I just hope sizable communities form faster so more adoption moves here.

Im not sure what you're saying. Personally I want to avoid one huge centralized "community" as it no longer ceases to be a community.

It makes sense to me that different userbases have different /r/funny with different content that they find funny. Otherwise you just have one appeal to the lowest common denominator content.

My concern is adoption for most people is a matter of content to interact with and if the groups are too disparate they may not foster adoption.
