For example, I'm on Lemmy.ml and I've joined !photography@lemmy.ml, !photography@lemmy.world, and !photography@kbin.social. In this example, it's not very different from the number of similar groups on Flickr but, in comparison to Reddit, it seems like the decentralized platform can be a little unruly.

How are you going about joining different communities and managing your engagement? Are you only participating on the community on your instance? Are you joining and posting in as many instances that seem relevant?

If it's a niche interest such as photography, I would just subscribe to all and see which one is the best over a few weeks.

If it's a more dynamic topic such as technology, I will go for the most curated version if it (Beehaw communities are usually good ones, at least to me), and only subscribe to one. Otherwise I'm getting overwhelmed with multiple occurrences of the same article.
