I have a question about communities. Are communities server-specific, for example, is the “Gaming” community on lemmy.ml different from the one on, say, beehaw.org and will I need to join both?

    You can have multis, and you can subscribe to multiples at once.

    I have about twenty different gaming subs on all different servers subscribed, so I’ll see any one of them in my feed.

    Does it matter which one posted what I’m looking at?

    Not really.

      So that’s how you do it. Nice so you can also combine closely-related topics. I do think as a new user (like myself) it’s a bit daunting that I can’t just subscribe to 1 of each topic but potentially have to go seek out the multiple versions of it on different servers, let alone keep up in case new servers come around.

      Maybe there could be a centralized list of multis you can subscribe to and these would be maintained for you, or something like that.
