Two AskLemmy's? (mander.xyz)

Just checking: am I correct that there are two AskLemmy's?

https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy https://lemmy.world/c/asklemmy

If so, is there any way to bring communities with the same purpose (or even same name) on different instances together? If not, how can we prevent fragmentation of these communities?

Yeah, I think this is going to be an issue/ something that the community is going to have to think about. It actually makes more sense for lemmy instances (like wallstreets.bet) to focus on particular subcultures/ types of communities, rather than being catch alls. This has a couple advantages in that you can replicate some of the structure of reddit (like having tagged posts), and it allows federation to focus on connecting to things that makes sense. This way resolves the duplicity issues.
