So which one is actually official one? I can't describe what "official" mean here, maybe the one that actually came from reddit or the one with more subsscribers or one with more activity ?

Also Why there are multiple copies of same community in different instances? Isn't the whole point of lemmy is that it is federated?

What do you think federation means?

I thought it will be like various communities will be on various instances and lemmy connects them, not a single community scattered across multiple instances.

Honestly, it's no different from multiple subreddits about the same topic. This problem isn't unique to Lemmy.

Yeah, but just because this problem exists on reddit, it doen't mean we have inherit those bad traits from reddit, right?

But, In the end there is nothing stops people from creating communites. So, Yeah.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
