I'm just curious, what is the harm in subscribing to both for a little bit? If you feel they post similar content you can always drop one of them. Or if one ends up 'winning' then the problem is solved.
The problem is that while subscribed you see the popular posts twice. All of them. Sometimes even literally one after the other in the feed lol
Right now we just choose between seeing almost everything twice (sub to both) or missing a little (sub to only one).
I don't really see it being too different from reddit when subbed to to subreddits that have similar topics. I'd see the same topic multiple times.
The thing is, I went to reddit for the discussion and it would be different depending on which community the post was in and that can be the case here. A news sub in lemmy.world is going to have a more general view but a news sub in my own instance will have more LGBTQ people in the discussions.
