The content on all the communities seem different.

Why didn’t the “copycats” get the “this community name has already been taken” message?

It was bad enough at The Other Place finding one overlooked sub about one of your interests.

Now you have to find every single community in every single instance if you hope to talk about your topic?

I mean, look at this:

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world

No Stupid Questions@kbin.social

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca

No Stupid Questions@mander.xyz

      To some extent perhaps but I don’t think that should be the objective.

      Just subscribe to all the “no stupid questions” communities. It’s no big thing.

        New ones get created all the constantly. Are they supposed to spend all their time monitoring every instance for new variants of a community?

          I mean, this is how everything worked already. People start subreddits and have to get traction, make their way to /r/all, etc. Having ~one single space~ wasn’t magic, and things work exactly the same.

          If you see a community that interests you, subscribe to it and be the change.
