You can post from the multi community/feed, you are then asked which community you want to post to

Clicking though to community to post and selecting a community from the create post page are same problem rearranged. A user who subbed to ~technology@piefed.social isn’t going to know the difference between !technology@lemmy.world, !technology@lemmy.zip and !technology@piefed.social.

To be honest that’s a problem that can’t be solved by tooling, it’s a human issue.
I know why there is
- !buyeuropean@feddit.uk
- !buyfromeu@feddit.org
- !buyfromeu@europe.pub
If people don’t want to consolidate similar communities and just keep them existing next to each other then users have to figure out the differences (sometimes there are almost none) between two communities.

Yeah, people are tribal and decentralisation lets people express that in ways centralised platforms don’t. Something, something, tech won’t save us.
