I don’t think it’s bad, every instance has slightly different moderation rules. Reddit also has multiple variations of one subreddit, like offmychest and trueoffmychest.
I'm probably going to be writing up a guide that tries to use non loaded language to describe the different flavors of lemmy for when my friend joins when Boost becomes available. But I actually really like that there's [email protected] and it's very centered, there's [email protected] and it leans left, and there's [email protected] ans its very right wing conservative. I want to make a guide because I think the downside is none of the domains clearly denote the makeup of the moderation teams beliefs without some investment into exploring the fediverse and seeing what's what.
