Is it a good thing if there are identical communities on different instances?

Is it worthwhile to try to get mods to combine them? It just seems like a bit of a waste when trying to grow a community and its split in two.
Or is this what the fediverse is supposed to look like?
I read before somebody said that we might be able to combine similar communities at some point but don't know if that's true.
You're viewing a single thread.
I think that's what this will turn out to be.
Can't wait for an nsfw "awww" to be created and then see the chaos unfold when people wonder why they're seeing pussy instead of cats.
If I subscribe to a community on one instance do I subscribe to that community on all instances?
no, only on the given instance.
No. That dude's scenario doesn't seem likely to happen at all. It would be funny if it did tho.
Its very easy for people to just camp on identically names communities on Lemmy.world, wait for confused newbies to their community because they're also on lemmy.world and then the community is split (potentially no longer having mods on the new instance).
The potential lack of modding/mod engagement in the future is what concerns me most.
