At the moment we have a few famous examples of similar communities coexisting
- !android@lemdro.id vs !android@lemmy.world
- !movies@piefed.social vs !movies@lemmy.world
- !privacy@programming.dev , !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !privacy@lemmy.world
- !buyeuropean@feddit.uk vs !buyfromeu@feddit.org vs !BuyFromEU@europe.pub
All of those communities have similar rules, there's nothing distinguishing them (!privacy@lemmy.ml for instance is different) except that mods never bothered to agree on a single place
Any instance implementing this is going to be defederated quickly by other instances due to the ease of vote manipulation.

- you can't get a Toyota on top of your Huyndai in 5 minutes, you can create a Piefed account and import your Lemmy settings in 5 minutes
- a lot of people aren't aware about Piefed, and how compatible it is with Lemmy
Now that instances page needs a link on the homepage 😄
Are they surprising?
