This is what I mean…Left is tchncs.de, right is Lemmy.ml

Edit: Also, trying to access those communities that don’t appear in the search result for specific instance, gives this message

404: couldnt_find_community

      Strongly agree on this one. If there’s already multiple gaming communities. Popular topics might have multiple communities on multiple instances very soon and that’s confusing for people.

        I think it could be a good thing overall

        each community might have a different culture so you can choose which to participate in

        like r/gaming vs. r/games on reddit

        both are ‘gaming’ communities but are not really the same in content

          As long as it is like that, i would agree. But i fear there might be competing communities that are mostly similar. Might be that through Darwinian selection at one point the fittest community survives but until then it might get confusing.
