Seeing a big “politics” community in both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world just confuses me as to which I should be subscribing to and I don’t really want to subscribe to both.

Guess this is just a downside of federated instances? There’ll never just be one “/r/politics” on Lemmy?

    We are still in the early days of the fediverse. Once this thing gets figured out and stabilized, I think we could see some progress in consolidating duplicate communities…

    But does the broader group of users want this model?

      I think the majority of people want this. Posters and lurkers who want specific content. Especially for topics that don’t have a constant flood of posts. Thinking the communities where you go to actively scroll instead of reading all/new.

      Maybe a solution is coming up with personal lists. Add all communities for a topic and then scroll them all together.
