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?

This might have to come from the app developers. The app is the one pulling from different instances so they will have to be the one that combines things from all over into one feed

Love this idea - can definitely imagine merging communities with the same name being a clean solution.

If you turn on the news do you think acquiring all of your information is best from one news channel? Soon as a community grasps a bias they start to hivemind and tune out counter points. I believe having multiple communities with multiple biases to be more secure.
