How are you managing your interaction with redundant communities? (lemmy.ml)

For example, I'm on Lemmy.ml and I've joined [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]. In this example, it's not very different from the number of similar groups on Flickr but, in comparison to Reddit, it seems like the decentralized platform can be a little unruly.

How are you going about joining different communities and managing your engagement? Are you only participating on the community on your instance? Are you joining and posting in as many instances that seem relevant?

nope, users MUST not create groups and cross-post to these groups...

I don't want idiots to put gonewild and technology into the same group and see their dicks in my feed... I'm fine with boobs, but no dicks.

So... by "users MUST not", you mean you'd prefer if they didn't.

Some restrictions could be added to avoid dumb mistakes like this, like how you cannot add NSFW and non-NSFW communities in the same group

I mean, adding a cute dog photo to a Linux subreddit is not ideal as well.
