I’m wondering if it makes sense to have /c/csharp and /c/dotnet both be active? There are very few users here so far, so maybe uniting everyone in dotnet would be better? Just a thought.

Right now obviously the content feed and the users contributing are low enough so they could be merged effectively.
In case the Fediverse and this instance grow rapidly though, I think that 2 communities would be more beneficial: having a more active community about C#, with questions about the language, its syntax, each new feature introduced etc, while the .NET community would undoubtly see less content and focus more on the underlying framework, the toolchain, language-agnostic discussions… In my experience, this is how it worked on the subreddits of the same names.
Do you want to have a banner added on the sidebar, redirecting to /c/dotnet until we grow larger? Does Lemmy have a polling functionality (to ask the user opinions)? I couldn’t find anything.
the closest thing that can be a poll in lemmy currently is having a comment that people upvote or downvote or two+ comments that people upvote
IIRC most people don’t read sidebars, does lemmy have pinned posts?
And I agree, with enough users and activity, the split makes sense. But that might be some way off.
Yes, we can add one if needed. I created a poll in this thread: https://programming.dev/post/71137
Btw, I just found out how to add a user as mod to a community, there is a button between each post / comment that is visible to moderators of that community. So, if you post to /c/dotnet, I can make you a mod there.
