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?

And if everyone does that, eventually there will be a main community that emerges and the other ones die.

Exactly why federated social medias instances aren't necessarily a solution to centralized ones. Meta's stuff his being preemptively blocked, but it's bound to happen eventually.
