Seeing a big “politics” community in both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world just confuses me as to which I should be subscribing to and I don’t really want to subscribe to both.

Guess this is just a downside of federated instances? There’ll never just be one “/r/politics” on Lemmy?

    I’m just curious, what is the harm in subscribing to both for a little bit? If you feel they post similar content you can always drop one of them. Or if one ends up ‘winning’ then the problem is solved.

      The problem is that while subscribed you see the popular posts twice. All of them. Sometimes even literally one after the other in the feed lol

      Right now we just choose between seeing almost everything twice (sub to both) or missing a little (sub to only one).
