For example, I’m on Lemmy.ml and I’ve joined !photography@lemmy.ml, !photography@lemmy.world, and !photography@kbin.social. In this example, it’s not very different from the number of similar groups on Flickr but, in comparison to Reddit, it seems like the decentralized platform can be a little unruly.
How are you going about joining different communities and managing your engagement? Are you only participating on the community on your instance? Are you joining and posting in as many instances that seem relevant?
The only one I’m struggling with is the technology communities. I am subscribed to 4 of them, but the same user is posting the same articles to all 4, so I see the same things over and over. Since they all mostly have the same content, I want to unsubscribe from all but the most popular, but I’m lazy and haven’t done it.
