GGplot: Two stacked bar plots side by side (not facets) - r

Question

I am trying to recreate this solution using ggplot2 in R: Combining two stacked bar plots for a grouped stacked bar plot
diamonds %>%
filter(color=="D"|color=="E"|color=="F") %>%
mutate(dummy=rep(c("a","b"),each=13057)) %>%
ggplot(aes(x=color,y=price))+
geom_bar(aes(fill=clarity),stat="identity",width=.25)+
facet_wrap(~cut)
I added a new variable to the diamonds dataset called dummy. dummy has two values: a and b. Let's say I want to compare these two values by creating a bar graph that has two stacked bars right next to each other (one for each value of dummy) for each value of color. How can I manipulate this such that there are two stacked bars for each value of color?
I think it would involve position dodge and/or a separate legend, but I've been unsuccessful so far. I do not want to add another facet - I want these both on the x-axis within each facet.

Similiar to the approach in the post you have linked one option to achieve your desired result would be via two geom_col and by converting the x axis variable to a numeric like so. However, doing so requires to set the breaks and labels manually via scale_x_continuous. Additionally I made use of the ggnewscale package to add a second fill scale:
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
d <- diamonds %>%
filter(color == "D" | color == "E" | color == "F") %>%
mutate(dummy = rep(c("a", "b"), each = 13057))
ggplot(mapping = aes(y = price)) +
geom_col(data = filter(d, dummy == "a"), aes(x = as.numeric(color) - .15, fill = clarity), width = .3) +
scale_fill_viridis_d(name = "a", guide = guide_legend(order = 1)) +
scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq_along(levels(d$color)), labels = levels(d$color)) +
ggnewscale::new_scale_fill() +
geom_col(data = filter(d, dummy == "b"), aes(x = as.numeric(color) + .15, fill = clarity), width = .3) +
scale_fill_viridis_d(name = "b", option = "B", guide = guide_legend(order = 2)) +
facet_wrap(~cut)
