I’m new here, and have been looking into different communities to subscribe to, it’s pretty difficult to decide which ones to subscribe to when theres often the same community on more than one server. (Example: internetisbeautiful on @feddit.de, @lemmy.ee, @lemmy.ml)

I’m not super savvy but couldn’t they merge them and have the community hosted as mirrors of each other on both for redundancy? If I’m wrong, do correct me, again, not super savvy and also new here.

    you can just subscribe to them all. that way, if one instance goes down, or dies out, or makes nonsensical moderation decisions, you still have the others. it’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

      I definetly understand the benifits of this, but a lot of these communities post the same or a lot of duplicate content.

      Also didn’t think about the nonsensical moderation in one community, so maybe mirroring them wouldn’t be that great of an idea.

        there really should be a better way of multiposting so that duplicate content is not actually shown to the user

        possible in those cases the instances have each other blocked so they have duplicates of the community they cant access
