Way too many groups on Indie Hackers

Indiehackers has not enough liquidity to have so many groups. The groups make sense but with that little traction every group has they feel dead. If they are meant as tags, ok. Now, everything feels bloated and hard to navigate. Moreover, every time people want to post they get decision fatigue about which group etc. @csallen, trash the groups and make optional tags out of them

    Now, everything feels bloated and hard to navigate.
    Can you give an example of what you mean here? I get that some groups, if you navigate into them, are low activity. But you don't have to go into any group if you dont want to right? Can't you just browse from the home page which combines posts from all groups?
    Also isn't choosing a group optional when posting?

      after using IH for a day I agree the groups are not that relevant and IDK anymore if groups are optional when posting. The first impression is just oh all these groups, where should i post, what should i read... it's just too much UI wise and gives the notion of a huge community when IH i smaller than most reddit subs.

    I feel the same way.
