    Yes, but technically no. The full name includes the instance, for example iOS@example.instance.

    Similarly, you had multiple subreddits dedicated to a single topic, with slight variations in their name.

    I recommend to subscribe to anything which seems interesting (including duplicates), then unsubscribing from annoying stuff.
