the Lemmy devs are very much against merged comments

For good reason perhaps? It merges distinct communities together, making communities less distinct. Different communities can have different moderation and participation standards and norms. Merging them I feel is a bad idea.

At the moment we have a few famous examples of similar communities coexisting

All of those communities have similar rules, there's nothing distinguishing them (!privacy@lemmy.ml for instance is different) except that mods never bothered to agree on a single place

I don't think this is a problem. If the communities are similar enough, one will eventually win and be the bigger and main one. If they are different enough, they can continue coexisting.

merging them completely is bad yes, but the way PieFed does it is nice, they have separate headers for the comments from each community
