Not really. I usually just check the subscriber count and pick the larger one. Unless if they’re about the same, then I’ll sub to both. Just means I’ll see more content. Might be a bit of overlap sometimes, but not always.
And if everyone does that, eventually there will be a main community that emerges and the other ones die.
Exactly why federated social medias instances aren't necessarily a solution to centralized ones. Meta's stuff his being preemptively blocked, but it's bound to happen eventually.
