What about the same communities on different instances? (self.lemmyworld)

Hi everyone,

I just joined and am now exploring this place. I noticed there already are similar communities on different instances. For example there is a [email protected] and a [email protected]. Is there a way to "join" or "sync" these different spaces? Or will they just be separate?

I think It would be nice to connect places like these. As far as I understand it if one instance goes down all their communities disappear. With "synced" communities across instances this could be avoided since they act like a backup for each other.

So far I like it here and am looking forward to how this all works out.

Thanks everyone for contributing and running this place.

On top of that others are saying they're different communities in spirit as well. They're not just duplicates.

[email protected] has different content/focus than [email protected], which has different content/focus than [email protected]
