I’m new here, and have been looking into different communities to subscribe to, it’s pretty difficult to decide which ones to subscribe to when theres often the same community on more than one server. (Example: internetisbeautiful on @feddit.de, @lemmy.ee, @lemmy.ml)
I’m not super savvy but couldn’t they merge them and have the community hosted as mirrors of each other on both for redundancy? If I’m wrong, do correct me, again, not super savvy and also new here.
Consolidation sometimes happens, but sometimes doesn’t for certain reasons, such as a community being abandoned, or different visions for a similar topic.
Personally I would recommend picking the most popular community or the one that seems to appeal to you the most, and only posting in that one, while staying subscribed to the others (if they are active) to keep abreast of that content and be able to participate in the comments if you desire.
