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

Would you be open to consolidating this community with other instances to help centralize the content posted across lemmy for Blender? We could seriously bring everyone together that uses it, and if possible in the future do small community contests similar to Reddit or other forum-like sites for artists.
