what’s stopping 8 different instances from hosting a ‘politics’, ‘funny’, ‘fediverse’, community?

these duplicate communities defeat the goal to replace reddit.

    Nope, but I do use tags to group people. “Family”, “Close Friends”, “Coworkers”, etc. Does Lemmy have something like this? Like the OP, I don’t want to dig through 20 instances to find the “best”. Just show them all in one dump. The “winner take all” style won’t appeal to the masses at all.

      You will quickly realize that there isn’t a “best”. Each serves a different niche related to the instance it is on and you will just have to see which ones you prefer. This isn’t Reddit and it is also not supposed to be Reddit. Better get used to it :)
