What is the point of different servers having communities with the same purpose? For example, the linux gaming community on this server, and the same community but on another server like lemmy.ml

You find one that matches your preferences, I guess. For gaming, maybe one community allows memes, and another doesn't, for example.
I don't think Lemmy is supposed to be a 1:1 match for Reddit, with power mods and big monolithic forums (where you see a post with thousands of comments and wonder what the point of contributing is).
I started a community, and I'm treating it as a sort of fan blog that other people can also post to, it's not supposed to be the definitive place for discussion to happen.
