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 :)
