User accounts are fragmented and just because you signed on at lemmy.world doesn’t mean your account exists on lemmy.ca.

Communities are fragmented and /c/games on lemmy.world is completely different than the one on lemmy.ml with its own users, set of posts, etc.

Lemmy does not currently allow for instance or user migration.

Nor does it allow for shared communities (ie the aforementioned /c/games is unified across multiple instances)

We are in the early days. If you’re eager feel free to join in the development on these any many other core issues. There’s real potential here.

    When I see multiple communities on the same subject, I just subscribe to all of them. Either they’ll eventually differentiate into their own unique spaces, or one of them will become the dominant one and the others will become fringe alternates. It’s a good thing.

      Like all the subreddits that have their “true” or “2” variant
