Do I understand correctly that I have to subscribe to 5 different NoStupidQuestions on 5 different instances?

hamsteronvase@lemmy.sdf.org to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 271 points –

The content on all the communities seem different.

Why didn't the "copycats" get the "this community name has already been taken" message?

It was bad enough at The Other Place finding one overlooked sub about one of your interests.

Now you have to find every single community in every single instance if you hope to talk about your topic?

I mean, look at this:

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world

No Stupid Questions@kbin.social

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca

It seems to me like there are 5 places the grocery store has tomatoes and and you need to check all 5 places before you know which place you should buy from. Then, maybe next time you're at the grocery store, a different spot will have the better tomatoes and there are also 3 other new tomato stands in the store.

I'm definitely grateful for lemmy or kbin or mastodon or wherever the fuck I am right now as a reddit replacement, but this shit is confusing and annoying

Sure, and if you choose the correct place in the grocery store to get your tomatoes, you have all the fixings for a nice pico de gallo or guacamole all in one place. But why don’t they ever have chips there? I know this has to connect somewhere ….. yeah

I think the idea is people coming from a grocery store where all the fruit and vegetables were centralized in a "produce" section and then going to a Farmers' Market and complaining that multiple stalls sell tomatoes and having to visit all of them to go tomato shopping.

At least that's what I'm getting from these comments. I'm new here too, and getting used to it, but I get a Farmers' Market vibe.

That's a good perspective. Thank you for that. I'll try to look at it like a farmer's market from now on
