    Subscribe to all of them, duh. Problem solved.

    And then when posting you simply cross-post. Or stick to the most active one. By then you already know which it is. (Unless you post mindlessly on whatever comm you find, without even lurking a wee bit before doing it. Then you’re probably shitting Reddit and should stay there instead of shitting Lemmy.)

      Crossposting gets pretty annoying for users who are also subscribed to all of them, though. Not that bad if it’s only 2 communities, but at 5 it gets pretty annoying.

      when posting you simply cross-post.

      I’m usually against crossposting between similar communities for niche topics as it splinters conversations. Instead of having 10 comments of 3 or 4 people taking to each other, you have 3 comments split in one community each.

      But I know it’s always a debated topic.

        In this case the alternative is to post in the most active one. By then the user should already have a good grasp on which one it is, unless they post mindlessly.

        That said I like cross-posting. Sometimes I see 3~4 people talking to each other in the different threads - but they’re approaching the subject from a different angle, because of the specificities of each comm.

          If the communities have actual differences, that can be interesting indeed

          Sometimes it’s just because none of them wants to consolidate, while they are actually identical
