Consolidating space communities?

We currently have quite a few:

!space@lemmy.world (most active, has had federation delays in the past)
!space@mander.xyz (active poster, topic-appropriate instance)
!space@lemmy.ml (active poster, inactive moderator)
!space@lemm.ee (low activity, unmoderated)
!space@sopuli.xyz (no active posters or moderators)

Do each of these communities serve a distinct purpose? If not, should we consolidate some of them?

I think the ManderXYZ instance is a nice match for the topic, but I am interested to hear what others think.

!space@mander.xyz moderator @ZafiraHUN@mander.xyz is inactive.
Paging admin @Sal@mander.xyz and recent posters @Bee@mander.xyz and @Sunshine@lemmy.ca for their thoughts.
Would you be open to adding active moderators to the community?
- I personally vote for !space@mander.xyz as that is a well-managed instance for the topics relating to science. The instance version number is 0.19.9.
  
  I'd be happy to moderate on mander.xyz if we consolidate over there.
  
  Awesome. @Bee@mander.xyz, would you be able to add Bitswap and Otter to the moderator list of !space@mander.xyz?
  @Bitswap@lemmy.world and @otter@lemmy.ca, it might help Bee if you each make a post or leave a comment on !space@mander.xyz.
  
  Thanks! Made a comment here

  @Bee@mander.xyz
  Here's a local link to Otter's comment: https://mander.xyz/post/28079448/18405909
  Are you able to appoint them as a moderator?
  
  Thanks, that's great!
  
  Open the drop-down menu on someone's post or comment. One of the options should be "Appoint as moderator".
  
  Done. https://lemmy.world/post/28335991
  
  Bitswap has posted: https://mander.xyz/post/28299592
  
  Would you be willing/interested to take on a moderator role for that community? It would be useful to have at least one moderator with a local account.
  
  Awesome, thank you! I have added you as a moderator.
  
  Any idea what happened to Bee? Their profile page and comments have vanished.
  
  It looks like that account was deleted by someone with access to the account. Most likely by the account owner. When a user deletes their account there is no form to fill in a reason, the data is just wiped.
  
  That's great to hear!
  @Sal@mander.xyz, please add Bee to the moderator list of !space@mander.xyz at your earliest convenience.
  
  Great, added. Thank you!
  
  Thanks!
  
  Thank you! Feel free to promote the community to !communitypromo@lemmy.ca to make people aware there are new mods
