Following communities of varying activity:

  • !blender@lemmy.ml (last post was 3 months ago)

  • !blender@lemm.ee (last post was 3 months ago)

  • !blender@sopuli.xyz (only 6 posts; 4 days ago then 2 months+ ago)

  • !blender_3D_animation@lemmy.ml (last post 3 months ago)

  • !blender@kbin.social (last post was 2 years ago)

  • !blender_channel@video.blender.org (locked to mods only anyways)

    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

    The mod there is @nxlemmy@lemmy.ml and they were inactive for 1.5 years now.

    What is the point of consolidation? Simply post to the most active one, and let others die silently.

      • pointing people looking for an active community to the correct one
      • avoiding people posting to a dead community where they won’t get any answer where they could have gotten one from an active alternative
