I’m new here, and have been looking into different communities to subscribe to, it’s pretty difficult to decide which ones to subscribe to when theres often the same community on more than one server. (Example: internetisbeautiful on @feddit.de, @lemmy.ee, @lemmy.ml)

I’m not super savvy but couldn’t they merge them and have the community hosted as mirrors of each other on both for redundancy? If I’m wrong, do correct me, again, not super savvy and also new here.

    PieFed can do this, but Lemmy cannot. There is no official app support for PieFed yet, though testing is underway with Thunder so perhaps soon - for now check out PieFed.social in a web browser, and see the Topic areas, or the new user customizable and shareable Feeds. e.g., Arts & Crafts.

    you can just subscribe to them all. that way, if one instance goes down, or dies out, or makes nonsensical moderation decisions, you still have the others. it’s not a bug, it’s a feature!
