I tend to take a look at each one and see if they have slightly different vibes despite similar names. If they’re different enough I’ll subscribe to multiple. E.g !anime@lemmy.ml and !animepics@reddthat.com
Also shout out to https://browse.feddit.de/ for letting you see communities that your instance hasn’t indexed yet. If you look there before creating a new community we should have fewer unintentional duplicates.
Hadn't seen https://browse.feddit.de/ before. Thanks for that!
NP, with the Reddit exodus and new instances springing up we’re bound to have non indexed ones even on your big ole lemmy.ml one
Next update should make the community browser a part of lemmy
