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.
I feel like we need a FAQ to link people to. This is one of those topics that new users post ever few days.
I wish mods would close these threads and point people to the FAQ.
I mean how do these people survive on reddit if they can search but can't click on a big number
Basically the same thing exists on reddit, the names are just slightly different And then there are things like anime tits being a news sub, how is anyone going to search for that on reddit
IMHO, good subreddits have mods and mod bots that shut down commonly asked questions and point the user to a mega thread or FAQ.
