Seeing a big “politics” community in both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world just confuses me as to which I should be subscribing to and I don’t really want to subscribe to both.

Guess this is just a downside of federated instances? There’ll never just be one “/r/politics” on Lemmy?

It's certainly the biggest annoyance to me so far. I like things to be streamlined and as simple as possible. Having multiple communities for the same topic is just messy.

Freedom & Democracy are messy. Some people don't like then for that reason.

Yeah I appreciate this but I am particularly OCD about keeping things organised and it's currently really difficult to do that on Lemmy.

Each instance is its own. They are different communities in different places. Turning on thr news in Moscow is going to be different than turning on the news in Kiev. Both groups are discussing similar topics but they likely have tuned out and brigaded different opinions until the community only discusses 1 view openly and all others get downvoted out. Lemmy isn't 1 site, so organizing it may be more difficult.
