Communites catalog is messy: Redundant communities, Difficult to search for communities and tags and posts, No verifying way if a community does exist or not.
I have still no idea to the idea (just one account could travel in any instances/servers). But I have a Mastodon, Lemmy and Kbin account [EDIT] and now Squabbles account [/EDIT].
What if all other creators/mods establish communities/instances/forums in a same majority website (so might become Reddit Copycat eventually funnily, the essence of "Fediverse" left the chat---seems doesn't work at all).

So I ended up wondering ideas, just sharing, might help. May call me stupid of these already in advance, of course I have 0 IT knowledge.

BTW, why is the image of my post "stored" in archive.org anyway? Could I see the image in archive.org? (cause I know archive.org where I borrow tons of books.)

I have no idea what your photo is trying to illustrate.

But you are right that it's a messy setup. I have an account on lemmy.world instance, and it is possible to find communities on other instances while logged in here, but it's not very easy. And it's possible for two communities with the same purpose & name to be on different instances. Should I join @lemmy.world, or should I join @beehaw.org ? What info is available for someone to make a distinction? It's early days here so maybe something will happen to make things clearer, but the nature of being federated & decentralized means there will always be some kind of problem with this.
