The process you are going through now is how things get “better”.
Right now there a a multitude of communities across multiple instances that all superficially appear to be the same thing; if you must have ready access to all of it in your feed then yes you will need to subscribe to all of them.
The reality is that these places are not all the same. Not everyone is going to want to join all of them and they will be subject to different moderation. There will be different levels of activity and on the whole different vibes.
Over time, some will diverge, some will diminish and some will close and direct you to post elsewhere.
If you’re comparing to Reddit - that is a place where a lot of this has already happened; for mainstream subjects one sub became dominant but it’s worth bearing in mind that for some niche subjects there would still be a handful to subscribe to for a fuller picture.
It’ll happen here too; over time things will evolve and settle into a pattern.
As for the caring part - caring comes across in how we choose to interact with each other on here; the way we do that will strongly influence the way these communities grow and change over time.
So. We can influence how things will be. No individual person or entity will ever be in complete control. So it goes.
Edit: Also, the communities search tool on Lemmy.World reveals more communities with the same name: https://lemmy.world/search?q=nostupidquestions&type=Communities
While I was reading this I found myself wondering about the evidence base for this decision might be. I found these:

I’m not yet sure about what the consequences of this might be, but here’s an opinion piece from the Guardian that provides a counterpoint to the government position:
I’m not sure what I think yet but my instinct is that reducing degrees to earnings potential alone isn’t reasonable in an economy that judging by the strikes doesn’t seem to fairly value a lot of people.
Cruelty towards those who are relatively weaker or indeed defenceless - children, the elderly, partners, animals.
Abusing service / customer-facing staff fits in to this as well and is at once particularly revealing and particularly damning. Next time you’re out and about with friends or a love interest watch how they treat (or talk about) e.g. the person at a ticket booth or the person waiting on tables - if they’re nasty to them (or about them), imagine what they might be like behind closed doors (and how they might treat you one day).
Awesome. Thank you.
Do you know if there is a “list” somewhere that I can check before posting? I wouldn’t want to bombard the dev team with duplicate requests.
I hadn’t tried until your comment it but yes that’s something else to address.
Overall I’m very happy with Memmy; it’s a work in progress but we can see the progress that is being made (and how fast it’s coming along).

Sorry to read you are feeling this way.
We are all different; we don’t all respond the same way to the same things but I will share what works for me.
I try to channel that energy into something positive if I can - exercise that little bit harder, put more time and passion into my hobbies.
If that isn’t working I try to dissipate it; listening to heavy metal is my go to. The “heavier” it is the more therapeutic it becomes. Story-driven video games (and the odd first-person shooter or open world mess) can help too.
I have a young family and a family pet; I find that making time to play with them and doing activity with them helps, but even so I sometimes need time to myself to clear my head.
Oddly enough being at work helps too. By the time I’ve fixed someone else’s problems I realise that maybe mine can be fixed too.
I’ve never found that having a treat (food, drink, whatever) worked for me; I end up feeling guilty of the excess and empty afterwards - but I appreciate this works for some.
When all of the above fails - I phone a friend.
All of this is about making space to strip away the emotional burdens and perform a fair analysis of the situation. I’m very solution / results driven so I look for ways of moving forwards.
Take care out there.
This too shall pass
The joke was silly. The more serious answer for me is TinkerTool.
CounterStrike. Haven’t played in years but there was a while when it consumed my free time.
Exactly my thoughts; what was once envisioned as a personal development or quality improvement tool instead becomes a stick to beat people with.
Your last paragraph including something that resonated with me. I do think some have come to view cycling as something that is elitist/hipster, at least as a distinct subculture away from the mainstream - with its own lingo and uniform.
The person who shared it with me was Norwegian so this would fit; they just translated it for me.
Look after your equipment and your equipment will look after you.

There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.
I use this one regularly, paraphrased as:

I trigger the record function on my dash cam when I worry that I could have done things better. Watching the footage has helped me find opportunities for learning and development.
