MODERATORS
 

I'm new here, and have been looking into different communities to subscribe to, it's pretty difficult to decide which ones to subscribe to when theres often the same community on more than one server. (Example: internetisbeautiful on @feddit.de, @lemmy.ee, @lemmy.ml)

I'm not super savvy but couldn't they merge them and have the community hosted as mirrors of each other on both for redundancy? If I'm wrong, do correct me, again, not super savvy and also new here.

Yes and no, this topic comes up fairly frequently, and generally...nobody knows the best solution forward LMAO

piefed.social is a Lemmy "competitor" and is intended to be fully interoperable, but in practice it hasn't matured yet and it's interoperability with the Lemmy-verse is decent but has its quirks

But a big thing there is they have a multi sub type feature to combine comms like that

But some people also like the multiple comms, because they can have different viewpoints and culture.

Like lemmy.ml is a huge Tankie instance and their c/memes comms moderation skew towards censoring of comments and posts critical of Russia/China/NK and allows political memes

Where as c/meme on .world have banished most political memes directing them to [email protected] instead

Iirc it was mostly around notifications and federation delays

Tbf, federation delays occur for every instance - and in particular Lemmy.World is well known for how they cause them.

OTOH, the flagship instance PieFed.social does have quite a bit more of those than I've typically seen on any Lemmy instances. Here is a list of other PieFed instances readily available to join. They won't have features be added as quickly, but might be more stable.
