It's also my biggest complaint, but I avoid it by just browsing local all.
Yeah but that's what I'm saying, this happens in exactly the same way on Reddit too
Just attempting to go to /r/anime for example ist still a lot easier tho.
I‘m not saying you can’t get used to it, but its obviously something thats worse. Especially if the whole federation thing is new for them.
Meh, just go to /r/anime_titties for the main global news source subreddit...
When you search for a community just pick the biggest one. Really all there is to it. Honestly reddit had the same issue with similarly named subs
My point is that I don't search for or subscribe to communities, though. Instead I browse all and mute communities I'm not interested in. This is much harder to do on global all.
In my view this isn't a problem that needs to be fixed, it's just something new users have to get used to.
