So I'm assuming the duplicate communities are communities of the same exact name in different instances/server. Is anyone else finding this somewhat confusing?

Is there a way to find/pick the "right" one, or should it just be based on whichever has the most users?

New to Fediverse (here and Mastodon), still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected])

I'm not sure if that link is supposed to take a user somewhere, but clicking the bot's link from within Connect doesn't work. The leading "!" Is not highlighted in blue, so that's probably why it doesn't work.

The link in the parent comment does work within Connect and takes me to that community.
