I notice that when I search for communities I see the same community has been created on multiple instances. I could subscribe to all of them but I’d much rather it be one larger community. Does any else see this as an issue or find this frustrating? If so, have you done anything that’s made it easier to deal with or have any ideas of how it could be improved in the future?
Personally, I’d love to see all the content merged and have the instance tagged on the post, similar to using flair on Reddit.
I think we’d see better adoption of the fediverse and Lemmy if this could be fixed because the largest complaint I see is the lack of content. There’s a lot of content here, it’s just spread across multiple instances. Just my two cents though…
Not really. Sure they’re are a lot of !Politics communities. But I think it’s a good idea to have a local one where you definitely see and interact with your instances community. Also the !politics you see on a LGBTQ instance is going to be different to the !politics you see on a programming instance is going to be differs to what you see on a general instance. I think it’s a feature not a bug.
Sure it’s annoying when /all/ is full of the same story but that’s not different to what happens on reddit in the same scenario except now a lot of them will have the same community name.
