    you’re right. it’s not really a big deal if you know how lemmy works and understand you subscribe to a ‘local’ community.

      I’m still figuring it out too, but I think the idea is you subscribe to all of the similar copies across the instances so it all shows up on your feed. Over time, the best of the best will rise to the top sort of thing.
