So which one is actually official one? I can’t describe what “official” mean here, maybe the one that actually came from reddit or the one with more subsscribers or one with more activity ?

Also Why there are multiple copies of same community in different instances? Isn’t the whole point of lemmy is that it is federated?

    This feels relevant

    An XKCD comic where two developers lament the existence of 14 competing standards. They propose creating an ultimate standard. There are now 15 competing standards.

    Sometimes the mods of overlapping communities will discuss merging, usually initiated when one of them notices there is little engagement in their own. But the general consensus in the Lemmy admin/mod population is that having overlapping communities on different instances is a net benefit.
