At first, the redundancy of having multiple communities on different instances covering the same topics bugged me, but it's actually a good thing because it means you're grouped into smaller groups of humans and your voice will get heard. Rather than a few comments dominating the conversation, there are simply more conversations.

I like that take.
Except when i am subscribed to multiple similar communities so i can hear those voices. Then something happens, and i see multiple reposts of the same thing by multiple users over multiple communities.
I dont know what the middleground is.
But maybe reframing towards the "smaller voices get heard" and learning to accept "the occasional shouts as an unfortunate downside to an overall better scenario" will help me.
