Searching lemmyverse.net yields the following:
Both communities are actively moderated, but lemdro.id has much more activity. I think consolidating towards lemdro.id would be the best option in this case.

The main difference is that Lemmy is order of magnitudes smaller than Reddit, and old Reddit wasn’t competing against modern Reddit
!eurographicnovels@lemm.ee survives thanks to one single person, it’s been years. “Build it and they will come” doesn’t always apply here
Yeah, that’s kinda my point too. When the Digg > reddit migration happened I didn’t promote my community at all. Still growing, even though spez has come in and yoinked it.
If c/Xiaomi, or c/Android, or c/Google in the fediverse becomes larger in the other instance it’s still beneficial to have all of them since if one goes down, the other serves the fediverse an alternative right?
!moviesandtv@lemmy.film shut down abruptly when the instance went down. People still found a way to reorganize on !movies@lemm.ee
Yeah but this is not answering my question.
If we have multiple communities across the fediverse that can report, cross post, and federate isn’t that the better solution rather than silo’ing things to one Instance / set of mods?
See the choice overload link I sent above.
By your logic, what are the backup communities for !fediverse@lemmy.world or !europe@feddit.org ?
When people use that word they usually have their own logic burnt into their brain. But, bide with me here please.
I don’t really see any “logic” whatsoever moving/ consolidating/closing an existing community (with inactive accounts as mods) outside of the Instance admins closing it from a community request. Those users might have a preference to use another Instance, for instance, because of hosting laws etc (I dunno).
Maybe they don’t like lemdro.id perhaps for its hosting company or whatever, maybe they just wanna use their own Instance but subscribe to that community?
Consolidation should really only happen in my own opinion if the community themselves + the Instance admins are asking for it and I can’t see that yet.
That’s fair!
