I notice that when I search for communities I see the same community has been created on multiple instances. I could subscribe to all of them but I’d much rather it be one larger community. Does any else see this as an issue or find this frustrating? If so, have you done anything that’s made it easier to deal with or have any ideas of how it could be improved in the future?

Personally, I’d love to see all the content merged and have the instance tagged on the post, similar to using flair on Reddit.

I think we’d see better adoption of the fediverse and Lemmy if this could be fixed because the largest complaint I see is the lack of content. There’s a lot of content here, it’s just spread across multiple instances. Just my two cents though…

    This is why I think the “city” analogy is the best one. You each instance has different rules, and if you want all the content, you gotta keep up. Otherwise, just stick to one large instance. It’s a brand new choice.
