Does anyone else feel like it's an issue to have the same community on multiple instances? (lemmy.world)

I notice that when I search for communities I see the same community has been created on multiple instances. I could subscribe to all of them but I’d much rather it be one larger community. Does any else see this as an issue or find this frustrating? If so, have you done anything that’s made it easier to deal with or have any ideas of how it could be improved in the future?

Personally, I’d love to see all the content merged and have the instance tagged on the post, similar to using flair on Reddit.

I think we’d see better adoption of the fediverse and Lemmy if this could be fixed because the largest complaint I see is the lack of content. There’s a lot of content here, it’s just spread across multiple instances. Just my two cents though…

Honestly I dont, if we are to compare it to reddit, sometimes there were two communities with really similar names. At the end of the day one of those ends up being seen as default for the hobbie and then everything else feels like its own thing with their own identity. One growing a lot simplifies things for people who arent realy looking and the smaller communities will probably still grow as long as there is someone interested in having discussions over there.
