Example, Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world have duplicate communities aren't connected at all. So we are artificially isolating groups more and making it confusing for would be converts.

While I can see why people might prefer it that way, we are preventing communities from growing and allowing people to find communities who might want to switch from Reddit. If you prefer the UI of one to another now you have to create a brand new community which is going to take time to fill. I use old.lemmy.world because I like the old reddit UI

I think there's a misunderstanding?

You can use remote communities, for example: !linux@lemmy.ml for you is https://old.lemmy.world/c/linux@lemmy.ml

the "Old" UI seems to hide the list of communities, but it's here: https://old.lemmy.world/communities

oh thank you for this. That helps that specific issue.

Federation fixes most of it. I can follow the big community that's become the main one and still the smaller ones with their own focuses and views.
