So I'm assuming the duplicate communities are communities of the same exact name in different instances/server. Is anyone else finding this somewhat confusing?

Is there a way to find/pick the "right" one, or should it just be based on whichever has the most users?

New to Fediverse (here and Mastodon), still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing.

This is a natural part of the Fediverse and no bad thing.

Eventually we'll have multicommunities where you could group all the similar themed communities together into one feed and it won't really matter which one the post is on.

For example, Slide is being ported over to Lemmy and still has multireddits coded in. I presume it will be easy enough to switch this over to communities. I imagine quite a few Lemmy apps will have the same features eventually.
