Confusion around duplicate communities - eviltoast

So I’m assuming the duplicate communities are communities of the same exact name in different instances/server. Is anyone else finding this somewhat confusing?

Is there a way to find/pick the “right” one, or should it just be based on whichever has the most users?

New to Fediverse (here and Mastodon), still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing.

    That’s what I thought as well. This a desirable but confusing feature which can’t be addressed at the protocol level. It has to be interpreted differently at the front-end.
