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?

Well you don’t HAVE to go on every community to see what every single community says about something though. You can just have the couple communities you follow and check those. Likely there will just be a couple of big communities for each topic, not dozens. What might happen even is that you have certain instances specializing in certain topics. You might have left wing and right political instances for example, so you’d just check the 1-2 instances you follow.
Each instance would effectively become analogous to the old time forums.
Like I said though, there is also the possibility of merging content from different instances into a single page.
