I come from Reddit and been enjoying Lemmy so far. How is Lemmy dealing with multiple communities on the same topic? To me:

  • If the communities are all active, then I shall subscribe to all of them, but end up having lots of duplicate/similar posts on my feed
  • If there is one community that is dominating, then what is the point of federation?

I was subscribed to android@lemmy.world, and just because I actively went into it, I saw a post that the community was frozen and they decided to use another android community on a different server, to avoid fragmentation.

    I think this is ultimately the intention, and it should all work itself out. If it makes sense to have everyone eventually migrate to one community, that will happen. If not, it won’t. This is one we can actually let the Invisible Hand take care of.
