So I'm assuming the duplicate communities are communities of the same exact name in different instances/server. Is anyone else finding this somewhat confusing?

Is there a way to find/pick the "right" one, or should it just be based on whichever has the most users?

New to Fediverse (here and Mastodon), still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing.

Just sub to the ones you want and set your feed to home. You'll only see the single ones you subbed to. And you're right, these are same names in different instances/servers. Completely normal.
