Confusion around duplicate communities (self.fediverse)

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.

Iirc if you crosspost properly (using the crosspost feature) it'd just show up once in in the home page.
