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?

Some people seem to have gotten the idea that Lemmy needs to grow and to do that it needs all this drivel posted to it. Not sure why tho.

Possibly because if comms stay empty for a long time, people will search for content elsewhere, and lemmy get forgotten.

Remember that many people come from reddit, and are searching for a place where new content is easy to find.
