    True, and this is also a side effect of the mass migration from reddit. People have created multiple versions of the same community name on different instances. Things will consolidate over time, and people will navigate to the most active community (or communities).

    But the other aspect of the fediverse is you can have more than one community with the same name; thats a benefit. Like why should there be only 1 “PCGaming”; different groups of users might want to form their own community which approaches the matter in their preferred way. So you could have 2, 3, or many different communities reflecting different ethoses, based on different instances. That’s not a bad thing, but might be hard for people to get used to initially coming from the monolithic approach on Reddit.
