Found this post on kbin that might be helpful
This is fantastic, thanks!
How do you think redundancies will work out? Theres already several communities for the same concept. Are we going to have to get used to subscribing to multiple ones?
I've subscribed to multiple ones but I feel like eventually one or two for each topic will become more popular. We just aren't there right now.
Redundancy I view as a huge issue. It sucks the communities are so fragmented
New users are very welcome and people are happy about the increased activity. Asking questions isn't looked down upon, the fediverse can be confusing and I've seen a lot of helpful repsonses in all kinds of threads. Here's a list of instances that are federated, meaning they can all interact with each other: https://join-lemmy.org/instances
Since communities (aka subreddits) are hosted on different servers (instances) I thought I would need a separate account on each instance to be able to post them (kept getting "not logged in" message).
Once I actually read the instructions everything was good. One account (choose the instance you want) and then use search .. but you must enter the remote instance url exactly as written.. no wildcats or anything.
