    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.

      It’s also my biggest complaint, but I avoid it by just browsing local all.

        Yeah but that’s what I’m saying, this happens in exactly the same way on Reddit too

        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

          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”.

      Duplicate communities are a good thing anyway.

      It’s crazy that on Reddit a community can get hijacked by some fucking weirdo who has control of things basically forever.

      Yeah I don’t get it at all. It’s a non-issue.

      Unless you have a reason to otherwise just search for the topic you want and pick the biggest. Just. Like. Reddit.

      On Reddit there’s tons of very similar named communities out there it’s fine.
