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’m not sure if that link is supposed to take a user somewhere, but clicking the bot’s link from within Connect doesn’t work. The leading “!” Is not highlighted in blue, so that’s probably why it doesn’t work.

The link in the parent comment does work within Connect and takes me to that community.

That’s the format to link to a community, similar to something like someone commenting /r/askreddit on Reddit and it’ll link you when you click it.

It must be your app because it works on 3 different Android apps for me (testing out apps to see which I like)
