Problem - if you want to recreate a community that has fragmented after reddit exodus, which instance do you choose so that everyone who were spilled all over internet finds a way back together?

Can this be instantly achieved? Or is it inevitable that this process of reaggregation into single community will continue for a long time (months or even years)? Let's discuss!
I personally am not a mod of any subreddit. I just had this question arise in my brain.
You're viewing a single thread.
I think that time will tell which one ends up winning the race.
What I usually do is checking for activity, in terms of recent posts, comments, and whatnot. If both show similar activity levels, I'll just subscribe to both and keep watching for developments.
I could easily imagine someone not particulary tech savy getting lost in the internet wilderness and finding their old lost community like a year or more in the future only to realize that all their old buddies have found themselves back together for months already.
I hope we get better community discovery tools that can mitigate this.
