One of the challenges (and benefits) of the Fediverse is the existence of duplicate communities.

What purpose does this community serve that the larger and more active [email protected] does not?

    It’s on an instance where you won’t get banned for saying “the Uyghur genocide in China is real,” for starters. I don’t touch lemmy.ml with a ten foot pole because the admins are lunatics who’ve enforced their views with bans while refusing to ever clarify that they will ban for expressing non-tankie politics and just saying “if you don’t like our moderation policy, find a new instance.”

      Good point, the political issues with lemmy.ml are concerning. Is this also true for the moderators of the datahoarder community on lemmy.ml, or just the admins of the server? Could the mods be convinced to switch to a different server?

    Dude, you either got glitched, or your finger is magic, because this post shows a half dozen times. You should clean up the extra posts

      Would you be able to post a screenshot? While I did post to multiple datahoarder communities, on my end it doesn’t look like I posted more than once to the same datahoarders community.

      Is there an established Lemmy etiquette for what should be done in the cases of communities fragmented across multiple instances? Post to all instances? Just the largest? Just the smallest? Pick one at random and cross-post to others?
