Good, but why are there sooo many duplicate communities?
Federation. The cause of, and solution to, all of Lemmy's problems.
That's simply natural with a federation-based system. If there's risk or history of defederation, different instances will naturally see similar communities grow. Initially, I intended to participate in many Beehaw's communities, but right now it's simply not possible.
wait why is it not possible?
Beehaw is defederated from @world, so I can't participate in their communities with my account.
Let it be, by some sort of natural selection only the best communities will survive.
