What are you guys doing when there's multiple communities for the same thing across instances?
What are you guys doing when there's multiple communities for the same thing across instances?
For example, I want to join a Today I learned community but when I search for it, I come across 4 of them on different instances.
What do you guys do when you see this? Join the one with the most users, join all of them?
Join them all, for now. I think Lemmy desperately needs a mechanism for “meta communities” or something so you can view a merged feed of say “gaming@everywhere” instead of separately seeing “gaming@beehaw” versus “gaming@lemmyworld” …
For now while the fediverse is growing I'd subscribe to all of them or at least the ones with a substantial user base, to see where the majority of the community ends up.
Otherwise I wouldn't sweat it. If there's content you miss in one community then just sub as you see fit :)
