Seeing a big “politics” community in both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world just confuses me as to which I should be subscribing to and I don’t really want to subscribe to both.

Guess this is just a downside of federated instances? There’ll never just be one “/r/politics” on Lemmy?

TMW you realize there's no downside to joining multiple communities for the same topic, even if they have the same name.

Imo there is, but it's solvable. Personally, I almost always browse specific communities/subs and almost never scroll through my home feed. So multiple communities is annoying because it means jumping between each one on the list. Could be solved though, by just implementing a Lemmy equivalent to multireddits.

It's probably the number one feature request so if it doesn't get put into the core Lemmy UI it'll almost certainly be implemented by third party apps soon enough. Will definitely be useful, and fun for people like me who enjoy organising things into lists!

Yeah it's natural to be a bit wary I think just because we're not used to things working that way. Took me a little bit as well but I've been here for over a month now so settled into it nicely.
