Reddit only had one subreddit for a topic, now Lemmy has multiple “ask lemmy”-communities for example - each on a different instance. What are your thoughts on this? I personally find it annoying to have to follow the “same” community 5 times for each community that I want to be part of. Is there a way to synchronize them, so that you post in c/asklemmy on lemmy.one and it appears and is able to being interacted with on lemmy.world? Should one become the dominant one and triumph on the others (instance wars ;). Or should I just get to peace with joining asklemmy on 5 different instances?

    I think it’s a fallacy of our time that we have to be connected to all and get all content. Does it matter that some people are in a different but similar community? Do they need to be bridged?

    Maybe this is something that an app can do. Like multi-reddits, just present multiple communities in a consolidated stream.

      This. There’s too much FOMO now. Just follow one and if you don’t like the content, then move to another.

    Just follow those and hope each instance have different users that post different contents. As a rule of thumb, maybe just follow the one with the biggest amount of subscribers, if it happens to be on your main server, then just follow that one.
