So I'm assuming the duplicate communities are communities of the same exact name in different instances/server. Is anyone else finding this somewhat confusing?
Is there a way to find/pick the "right" one, or should it just be based on whichever has the most users?
New to Fediverse (here and Mastodon), still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing.
I'm not really sure how it is with Lemmy but kbin displays the instance URL within the magazine search. Maybe you can check the URL of those communities to see it more clearly, but yes, those should be all from different instances. Whether you want to subscribe to the biggest or all of them is up to you, just like you could have subbed to various kinds of subreddits for the same topic.
