what’s stopping 8 different instances from hosting a ‘politics’, ‘funny’, ‘fediverse’, community?

these duplicate communities defeat the goal to replace reddit.

    One good thing about multiple communities based on instances is you can have regional communities based on what instance they are on. /c/politics on lemmy.ml is technically neutral, but we all know its meant to be American politics, so opening a /c/politics on lemmy.ca even though it has the same name would serve a different purpose and be centered around Canadian politics instead.

    Overall though I definitely think a multireddit type solution needs to be created for this, that way similar communities could be grouped together and mass subscribed to all at once.
