Jan 25, 2014 at 20:04 comment added Will Sawin Good point. What are good examples of categories without filtered colimits? I don't know any way to find them other than enumerating all the categories I know and checking if they have filtered colimits, which seems tiresome.
Jan 25, 2014 at 17:41 comment added Daniel Schäppi On the other hand, if you consider the 2-category of say lfp categories and adjunctions whose right adjoint does preserve filtered colimits, then you do get the desired pushouts. This 2-category is equivalent to finitely cocomplete categories with functors preserving finite colimits, and this is 2-monadic over the category of small categories. Since the 2-monad in question has rank, this 2-category has all bicolimits. I think it would be interesting to see if there are counterexamples if the categories involved do not have (many) colimits.
Jan 25, 2014 at 17:35 comment added Daniel Schäppi I don't think this works quite as intended. First of all, you often talk about limits when you really mean colimits (both in the definition of $X_i$ and $X_{\infty}$). But right adjoints need not preserve colimits (not even filtered colimits in general), so your argument that $G_1 X_{\infty}=G_2 Y_{\infty}$ does not work.

Jan 25, 2014 at 10:15 comment added Oskar Small typo: "Then by the same logic we have a natural map $Hom_{\mathcal D_1}(X_0,X) \to Hom_{\mathcal D_1} ( F_2 G_1 Y_1, X)$" - $F_1 G_2 Y_1$ instead of $F_2 G_1 Y_1$.
