For example, I want to join a Today I learned community but when I search for it, I come across 4 of them on different instances.

What do you guys do when you see this? Join the one with the most users, join all of them?

    I’m hoping this gets addressed with a super-community / “multi Reddit” type feature eventually. But that wouldn’t really address how posting works. You would still need to drop it into a single community. But maybe it could encourage spreading content around similar communities.

      You can add your post to the tagged Lemmy communities by tagging them like so: @!community@lemmyinstance.

        That potentially makes things very simple to kind of ‘instantly cross-post’ w/ a multi-reddit type setup

      There’s 2 issues for this on the codebase so it will probably get solved. I think the devs are just trying to fix some database issues first though.
