For example, I want to join a Today I learned community but when I search for it, I come across 4 of them on different instances.

What do you guys do when you see this? Join the one with the most users, join all of them?

I’m hoping this gets addressed with a super-community / “multi Reddit” type feature eventually. But that wouldn’t really address how posting works. You would still need to drop it into a single community. But maybe it could encourage spreading content around similar communities.

You can add your post to the tagged Lemmy communities by tagging them like so: @!community@lemmyinstance.

@prolifetips@lemmy.ml

Shout-out to @mrpresidenttom@mastodon.social for posting this tip.

*Edit: don't forget to start it with the ! And type slowly. A drop-down list will appear as you type.

*Edit 2: I think I'm doing it wrong because I'm not seeing it post in the linked community, but here's the post I this from.

That potentially makes things very simple to kind of 'instantly cross-post' w/ a multi-reddit type setup
