Seems like this is probably the answer. We don’t need to not looking for a 1 to 1 replacement for Reddit and the variation we see in communities could end up bringing some vibrancy and more differing opinions on things around here.
Big oof on the reposts across communities. That’ll get old.
Yeah, I’m hoping that settle out too.
I don't see this as a "bug" of Lemmy but a feature. What if mods get heavy handed because they feel 'insulted' and ban somebody simply out of spite. This gives the ability of somebody to form their own community of the same name on a different server without stifling speech. I sincerely hope that this does not get 'fixed.'
It's come in clutch a couple times as well when one instance is having federation issues, but I still get to see other content coming from a community on another one. There's definitely downsides though, no argument there.
