So I'm assuming the duplicate communities are communities of the same exact name in different instances/server. Is anyone else finding this somewhat confusing?

Is there a way to find/pick the "right" one, or should it just be based on whichever has the most users?

New to Fediverse (here and Mastodon), still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing.

I think this is kind of a larger problem with the fediverse, and ultimately why it won’t displace Reddit.

If I subscribe to a community called music, as a user I expect to see all posts from the fediverse. Instead what we get is posts from a specific instance. Duplicate isolated communities is not user friendly.

Fediverse atm just feels like a complicated reinvention of forums.

if you sub to both you'll see both in your main feed

yes, but if there's 7 of them on 7 different instances it's a challenge to make sense of it all.
