So which one is actually official one? I can’t describe what “official” mean here, maybe the one that actually came from reddit or the one with more subsscribers or one with more activity ?

Also Why there are multiple copies of same community in different instances? Isn’t the whole point of lemmy is that it is federated?

    Also won’t there will be an fragmentation of users issue?

    when you can follow, subscribe to, post to, or comment on any community on any instance, there’s no fragmentation

    when followers know there are plenty of options, it also prevents any single community from becoming too big or overbearing – and since the instances are all privately owned, the only thing you gain by growing your community bigger than everyone else is increased server load

      I’m not talking about fragmentation on instances but on the communities.

      If there are 5 Unixporn on different instances, I have to make 5 crossposts and the engagement I’m gonna get is fragmented.

      If there is only one unixporn, only one post and I get more opinions of people in a collective manner and also more people will interact with each other, which lead to more refined solution.

      But Whatever, It is what it is.
