What about the same communities on different instances? (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone,

I just joined and am now exploring this place. I noticed there already are similar communities on different instances. For example there is a [email protected] and a [email protected]. Is there a way to "join" or "sync" these different spaces? Or will they just be separate?

I think It would be nice to connect places like these. As far as I understand it if one instance goes down all their communities disappear. With "synced" communities across instances this could be avoided since they act like a backup for each other.

So far I like it here and am looking forward to how this all works out.

Thanks everyone for contributing and running this place.

I hadn’t thought about it this way, and I definitely agree. Similar communities on the same topic may evolve to offer a different vibe or different focus. The more a user interacts with the communities, the more differences they would discover (and appreciate??!?). Or people might just get frustrated and give up. Who knows. We are all humans, I suppose.
