For example, I'm not sure how a new user is supposed to distinguish between: Games@sh.itjust.works and Games@lemmy.world This seems like a potentially worse version of reddit's games vs gaming vs truegaming.

It's a matter of time in my opinion. Out of the major federated instances, if (for example, but this applies to any topic) Games@a and Games@b are too similar, one will end up becoming the 'winner'. Others will either develop their own identities or slowly fade.

Eventually it'll just be a known thing, Games@a is a little more loose and jokey while Games@b is a little more organised and on-topic, and if you're 14 and want to get in long-winded insult exchanges about the best CoD then there's also Games@c
