What do you think is the best solution to having the same named communities on different instances? (kbin.social)

We should implement this as whenever I wish to browse (for example) [email protected] I have to go to there, and whenever I wish to browse [email protected] I have to go there. Would it be possible to implement it in kbin/lemmy's code to make it easier to browse all?

The practical solution for that, is to simply search the topic you are interested in plus lemmy on google. Chances are best that you will find the most active community.

Since reddit's search feature was completely unusable for the majority of its history, for me that is just "business as usual". Though it would be nice to have a more integrated solution.

Alright but what if there was an active community that moved to a self hosted one? Wouldn't that still show the older community first?
