I asked this yesterday and the answer is that yes, there will eventually be the same communities onany servers and you would have to seek each one out and join it.
Yikes. How would any community get any real consolidation or aggregation? I don’t want to have to know where to find the popular community of “Funny” lives ya know?
Agreed. Lemmy needs “multireddits.” Currently it’s design is both a blessing and a curse - if one community goes toxic, it’s easy to find and join a rival community in another instance - that’s the blessing. But the segregation between similar communities is also the curse that you’ve described. Plus, if a popular instance goes dark, there goes that community. Multis would help alleviate both issues.
I didn't realize that if a server goes dark so does it's data. We will need archival tools for this. If the content can't be counted on, the platform will not become viable.
