So much talk about duplicate communities, which is just so weird to me, seeing as reddit also constantly has duplicate communities despite being centralized :D which one the main one is also sometimes changes based on events/drama
Seems to me just people being resistant to change just because it’s change.
My point is that I don’t search for or subscribe to communities, though. Instead I browse all and mute communities I’m not interested in. This is much harder to do on global all.
In my view this isn’t a problem that needs to be fixed, it’s just something new users have to get used to.

I like that the top comment went from “there are too many communities I want just one” to “Im joining to make it better for others”.
It’s also my biggest complaint, but I avoid it by just browsing local all.
When you search for a community just pick the biggest one. Really all there is to it. Honestly reddit had the same issue with similarly named subs

Yeah but that’s what I’m saying, this happens in exactly the same way on Reddit too
Just attempting to go to /r/anime for example ist still a lot easier tho.
I‘m not saying you can’t get used to it, but its obviously something thats worse. Especially if the whole federation thing is new for them.
