Confusion around duplicate communities
(lemmy.world)
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.
On reddit though, there are thousand of music communities. How did you know which was the right one? Subscriber count.
it's okay though, it's early days, pretty sure some communities in some instances will be the main one. You'll see the user counts and active users to help guide you. And maybe there WILL be two mains for the same topic - is that bad? If 2 general music communities both have huge active users, just subscribe to both! easy peasy!
I've subscribed to a few dupes here, it's all gravy. And I'm doing my best to nurture an alternative music community. =)
