Hey so I see there’s a few different instances for TodayILearned, are they all considered unique? Like would it be /TodayILearned1 /TodayILearned2 and so on if they were on Reddit, separate communities? Or are community names unique throughout the fediverse?
They are considered unique communities although they could cover the same topic. It's a lot like an email address that way, you can have til@fake.server and til@different.fake. They are unique addresses, but they can have the same name before the at sign.
Something i would like to see in future development is some sort of multi-reddit type feature to combine multiple similar communities into one grouping
Interesting. Well I’m rooting for federated services so we can’t have the rugs pulled out from under us again by large corporations.
They are separate communities each on a different server. You will encounter a bunch of duplicate communities on various servers for the big topics (news, technology, gaming, etc.)
For now at least. I would imagine in time the duplicates may converge into one or the other.
