I think the whole point is to keep them from merging. No centralization. That way you can up and down vote servers along with post or block certain servers altogether. Now they might be able to incorporate it some way in the app where you could group common instances and assign your own categories. That would work pretty well.
I think there is something in the works that makes them multicommunities per default.
Decentralization is kinda the entire point of lemmy and other fediverse apps. There is no company, like reddit, facebook, etc. who controlls lemmy. Anyone can run their own lemmy instance however they feel like and create whatever communities they want.
Yeah they’re completely different communities that happen to have the same name.
Kind of confusing, I hope they do come up with an idea to merge them as users scale.

Yeah exactly. I can see why they haven’t done it since it conflicts with the core idea.
I agree. Allowing users to tag their communities, or even have mods tag their communities with related neighbor communities could be a good solution.
