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 the format to link to a community, similar to something like someone commenting /r/askreddit on Reddit and it’ll link you when you click it.

    It must be your app because it works on 3 different Android apps for me (testing out apps to see which I like)
