For example, I want to join a Today I learned community but when I search for it, I come across 4 of them on different instances.

What do you guys do when you see this? Join the one with the most users, join all of them?

    I like the idea of different communities. A single giant “community” like reddit feels too big

    This is a good point. Some users prefer being in a community with a lower number of subscribers. Not everyone wants to post in a community with a million users so having big and small communities for the same thing isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It gives people the choice to decide which one they want to participate in.

      Right, I don’t know if anyone would want to post in a super giant community like reddit. Your post just gets lost in the void, and no one knows anyone because there is too many users. I think the internet is going to fundamentally change.
