So, let's say you have a community about video games, and they tag themselves #Gaming. Then you have another community about video games, and they tag themselves #Games. Then you have a community about boardgames, and they tag themselves #Games. Then you have a community about tabletop RPGs, and they tag themselves #Gaming.
Now you've got two communities discussing the same topic in different places, and both of them are also getting posts about similar but unrelated activities shoved down their throats.
