The content on all the communities seem different.

Why didn’t the “copycats” get the “this community name has already been taken” message?

It was bad enough at The Other Place finding one overlooked sub about one of your interests.

Now you have to find every single community in every single instance if you hope to talk about your topic?

I mean, look at this:

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world

No Stupid Questions@kbin.social

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca

No Stupid Questions@mander.xyz

    You don’t have to if you don’t want to. Subscribe to the one you like best, and help grow that one.

    Personally, I find myself only subscribing to and browsing communities on the local instance. The idea of the Fediverse is cool and all, but it’s just way too much information for one person to process.

      This where I’m at. I’ve given up on any content that isn’t on Lemmy.world

      Federation is honestly a lot more trouble than it’s worth and I wish a different system had been implemented. Unfortunately it’s too late to change that.
