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.

    This is exactly what I mean. Decentralization requires better tools to bring content to the users. Having to manually search is not going to help lemmy get the critical mass it needs.

      Honestly, some of this can be kludged by mods working together, or at least not guarding their turf too jealously. Simply putting the other communities in the sidebar could be a start. We don’t HAVE to wait for an algorithm to share knowledge, or let the lack of perfect tools be the enemy of good

      ones.
