What are you guys doing when there's multiple communities for the same thing across instances? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Offtopic, but how do you search for communities on lemmy? I am facing a bit of trouble getting started. Any help would be really appreciated

You can use browse.feddit.de. This works great.

I'm using the Jerboa app on my Android device and the second tab from the left has a search feature. On desktop, I think this is your best bet: https://browse.feddit.de/

If your instance fedeates with a lot of them, its "Communities" tab may be enough, buf if you want a more comprehensive search tool, you should take a look at https://browse.feddit.de. Hope this helps :3
