That tends to happen naturally anyway. People tend to join the biggest and the most active community they can find.
The difference now is that you can more easily break off in case of a schism, without having to fight for the subreddit name or come up with weird prefixes like r/true_whatever and try to bring people over.
One thing I don’t fully understand, is how duplicate communities on different instances work. Do they merge? Do I have to follow both instances separately? Can they separate when the instances defederate?
