Duplicate Pages Across Fediverse (kbin.social)

So I notice that KBIN and BEEHAW and LEMMY all have duplicate pages dedicated to the same content. Are we as a community going to have to decide which page will be the 'main' page, will we have to subscribe to each magazine for each instance, or will they consolidate eventually?

So like, theres a technology@beehaw, a technology@lemmy, and a tech for kbin. Does it make sense to spend time cultivating one, if another ends up getting more attention?

Yeah, the defederation of Kbin exacerbated this, but it was inevitable anyway. Even reddit had a bunch of spinoff variants of subs like wallstreetbets. There's no avoiding it.

Sub to the ones you like, unsub from the ones you don't. If a community really pulls together then there will be a consolidation point and that'll be it.

It would be a super interesting case study if two (or more) sizable communities on different instances dedicated to the same topic decided to all consolidate. It’s hard to imagine that happening without some unplanned change - like most of the mods of one no longer being able to put the time on anymore, and not enough “local” users willing to step up?
