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?

Is this just going along with the other comment, or did beehaw actually do something hate-worthy?

Beehaw is fine, he's just "starting beef"

Disable downvoting and censor too many instances. Any instance that does the first is an immediate red flag. Beehaw also had a rule originally against asking for evidence (they call it sealioning). Anyone who does the "sealioning" trolling is also a big red flag.
