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.
I agree with your point of view and its advantages. Of course it’s also a matter of degree. One can imagine the situation where there’s one “copy” of a community per server, or even per person; now this is absolutely unrealistic, but there’s a continuity of cases from that unrealistic situation to the present situation. Somewhere along that continuum, fragmentation becomes more negative than positive.
agreed, its a balance like most things
