If I understand Lemmy correctly, you can create duplicate communities on different instances. Isn’t this kinda counter productive because this may lead to less user interaction in those communities, because the user base gets split up between competing communities.
Is there a way to fight this division of the (small) userbase or is this effect even desired because it leads to more tight knit communities on the different instances?
Exactly. I was subbed to both meirl and me_irl without issue
To be fair they are very different subs
Eh, I guess I was just a casual viewer bc it all seemed the same to me. Never went to the comments
