I still don’t entirely understand how it works here. But I had the thought that if following a spree of making new communities, two ended up quite similar in content and user base, would it then be possible to merge them together?

To expand on it a little more, I’m not sure why you really want to combine them. I get the idea of thinking of a single source of truth/gathering place, but that’s almost never actually been the case anywhere that I know of, and I think trying to force it will end up not actually serving the community well. I don’t think anyone will suffer for having multiple communities and most people are very okay with cross posting and realizing that articles and the like will be posted in multiple places if they’re interesting.
To be clear I don’t think it’s necessary at the moment, and the pace we are going at seems to be pretty good really. I just posted something into diy and had to stop and check creative to see which fit better, and it occurred to me that it could happen in the future that the overlap is more significant. Thanks for explaining though
