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.

    This is exactly like Reddit. On Reddit, if you subscribed to “gaming”, you would not also see posts from “games.” You would have to subscribe to both to see posts from both. If you want to see posts from music@lemmy.world, but also from music communities on other instances, you would subscribe to both.
