MODERATORS
Think of it like email (lists). There can be a !fuckcars@lemmy.world and a !fuckcars@lemmy.ml (the latter doesn't exist, but it could)
You can access both communities, subscribe to both and post to both. Their content is (mostly) identical, the only difference is who's hosting it.
There is no central authority determining the rules. For instance, Reddit can ban whatever they like and allow whatever they like. That's not how it works here. The only rules are what each community decides are their own rules. Certain communities, such as !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com no longer exist in some sort of tolerated limbo, unlike on Reddit where they could be shut down at a moment's notice.
Oh that's kinda neat. Do you have any suggestions for which you prefer or which most people like?
Well, since !fuckcars@lemmy.ml doesn't exist, I prefer the one that does.
Usually, if there are multiple communities one is significantly more active than the others. For cats, check out these three
Only the last one is what I'd deem active.
