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, based on whichever has the most users?

New to Fediverse (here and Mastodon), still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing.

    Ironically this will be more useful the more popular the site becomes. For example you could have 5 different communities labeled as movies from five platforms. One platform hosts many people who love, for example technology, one server hosts people from your country, one server hosts “Only X culture allowed”. You now have 3 very diverse communities to talk about your one topic. Without having weird specific community topics.
