How is Lemmy dealing with multiple communities on the same topic? (self.asklemmy)

I come from Reddit and been enjoying Lemmy so far. How is Lemmy dealing with multiple communities on the same topic? To me:

If the communities are all active, then I shall subscribe to all of them, but end up having lots of duplicate/similar posts on my feed
If there is one community that is dominating, then what is the point of federation?

I was subscribed to [email protected], and just because I actively went into it, I saw a post that the community was frozen and they decided to use another android community on a different server, to avoid fragmentation.

Wow, there was a whole conversation beneath my comment and neither lemmy.world nor the Jerboa app gave me any kind of indication that someone had replied to me. God, Lemmy fucking sucks.

Ouch, not even Inbox notification?

Voyager works quite well even though there is no Push.
