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.

    They don’t technically have the same name. The full name will be something like “music@kbin.whatever” or “music@lemmy.somethingorother”. The problem is whatever interface op is using isn’t showing the full community name which includes which instance it’s on.
