Just starting to familiarize myself with everything after about a decade at reddit. I understand that you can view content across instances but I’m noticing that both kbin and lemmy have similar (competing?) magazines/communities.
For example @PCGaming and !pcgaming (lemmyworld) but then there is also, @pcgaming, [email protected], etc.
Do I have to subscribe to all of them? Or are there “official” fediverse communities?
As I said, I’m still trying to figure things out, but subscribing to so many similar communities seems cumbersome for the user and (imo) fragments userbases that are literally talking about the same thing.
Thanks in advance!
Like others have said you can subscribe to as many or as few as you like. Personally, I’m subscribed to multiple “duplicate” communities. It’s not really been a problem out of some rare instances, like when one of the Reddit third-party apps announced they were moving to Lemmy.
