This is what I mean…Left is tchncs.de, right is Lemmy.ml

Edit: Also, trying to access those communities that don’t appear in the search result for specific instance, gives this message

404: couldnt_find_community

    Only the very first user to subscribe/search for a new community needs to do this. It’ll just appear for everyone else on that instance from then on.

    And the devs are working on a solution to make this happen more automatically.

    Segmentation was a problem on Reddit too. Anyone could make a sub with a similar name to compete with another. Users on lemmy will probably slowly gravitate towards one or two big communities for each topic. It’s just early days.

      I think it’s quite an important point that it only needs to happen once. I’ve not seen that mentioned anywhere else so thank you
