Isn’t it a bit of an annoying having repeat communities across various Lemmy instances? (lemm.ee)

Seeing a big “politics” community in both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world just confuses me as to which I should be subscribing to and I don’t really want to subscribe to both.

Guess this is just a downside of federated instances? There’ll never just be one “/r/politics” on Lemmy?

Totally agree - it's a wonderful freedom, but it also means as happened with Android recently that a large community can be closed down and redirected and there isn't a policy to transfer or reclaim the space if it is locked by the one person who owns it. Not a huge issue now, but come the point large companies are moving to the space it could well get quite messy!
