I don't think the fediverse is a good fit for a #reddit clone. By design it splits the communities. I don't want to have to follow [@[email protected]](https://le (mastodon.social)

To be fair, reddit is the same way. There's an r/pics and r/pic and r/pictures and r/picture and r/photo and etc.

What happened is eventually one of the subreddits (r/pics) rose to the top and the rest are either made private (although that could be the protest) or only have a few users. Lemmy will likely end up the same way, with some of them being popular and some not popular.

The only way I can see multiple popular communites for exactly the same topic is if there is defederation involved (for example, if Beehaw never rejoins the web as a whole, or etc).
