duplicate communities on lemmy instances is not a good trend (beehaw.org)

what's stopping 8 different instances from hosting a 'politics', 'funny', 'fediverse', community?

these duplicate communities defeat the goal to replace reddit.

Won't happen, one of the pros of how it works comes from the Devs themselves:
You could have two news communities but you'll know you have news@lemmy.ca and news@lemmy.uk or something similar.

For general communities might be confusing, but you still have this in reddit and other similar platforms, you have r/memes, r/dankmemes, r/dank_meme, and many others.
