I mean it's the same on reddit, just that they have to have slightly different names.
I'm pretty sure that duplicates will sort them selves out organically over time.

I guess chances for duplicate communities are higher on federated services, but I hope you're right. And even that shouldn't be a problem once we get multi subreddits, or the equivalent of it.
Yeah, ran into this for baseball communities, its tough to gain some critical mass to compete with an r/baseball if they remain splintered
My ideal scenario would be multi communities. create a multi community, tied to your user account. you can then add any community from any fediverse account or community.
So in essence you would a multi community called baseball. In it are posts from !baseball@lemmy.ml !baseball@fanaticus.social and mastodon posts from @baseball@a.gup.pe
Either browser each multi community separately or even build a frontpage consisting of all multi communities.
I might open a feature request for this......
