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?

    If there is not already a way to combine communities into a single feed, surely there will be soon.

      I feel like the challenge with that is that is going to be moderation. (well, the challenge is always with moderation)

        I mean every community moderates itself, if you don’t like what one of them does, you cut it out of your feed.

        It sounds exciting, imagine if mods would have to compete for shares of a topic instead of a group gatekeeping a big community.

      There is a multi-reddit issue open on github. As soon as someone actually codes it, it’ll be there.

      I’m trying to learn Rust atm to contribute, but very likely someone will code that up before I’m ready to actually submit pull requests and not be laughed out of the room.
