Hello,

New to the Fediverse and there is some learning to do.

I heard if I had signed up for one instance, I will be able to see all communities across the board.

My question is, Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml both have Worldnews comms. I can see the Lemmy.world one in Lemmy.ml with the url [email protected]. And vice versa. And sub to them accordingly right?

So this means there can be a repeat of communities across the fediverse?

why is it good? i thought the whole point was not to do centralization like that? I am having some trouble wrapping my headaround the idea of federated communities so I coud be missing something.

I think it’s fine to centralize communities has long as the instances federated together can access it. Certainly it doesn’t make sense to have dozens of News communities but as long as Lemmy.world, Lemmy.ml, etc can access the main one, then I’m fine. Maybe I’ll change my mind later on.
