Seeing a big “politics” community in both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world just confuses me as to which I should be subscribing to and I don’t really want to subscribe to both.

Guess this is just a downside of federated instances? There’ll never just be one “/r/politics” on Lemmy?

    The name thing doesn’t seem that complicated. I already know that !memes@slrpnk.net are gonna be lefty memes

    Lol. I can only assume it’s a massive joke and I’m just not in on it. !memes@slrpnk.net in no way means “lefty memes”. It only proves my point

      Well… are you subscribed to !memes@slrpnk.net?

      I don’t expect you to know that Gerry’s Bar and Grill is a gay bar or that Fanatics is a Packers bar by their name. You find out by going there.

        A good thing to note is that both of those bars you mentioned have different names. That makes it easier to know which to go to, once I figure out which is which.
