Redundant communities across instances (lemmy.world)

As a new reddit exile, I may be misunderstanding this.

In theory something like a !gaming community could crop up on multiple large instances, especially during the mass exodus while instances are getting hammered with spikes in volume.

If that's the case, we'll have fragmented communities across instances. Is there any way besides subscribing to each of them to combine them into a sort of multi-reddit type aggregation? Or is this considered a temporary (albeit important to adoption) problem during the crazy stages?

That's a fair point - I guess all I'm saying is that they all can show up within your feed if subbed to the same communities.

Admittedly, I didn't know there was a difference in vote counts when viewing across instances. I had assumed the votes would be synced to those accrued on the specific post's instance but it sounds like that may not be how it is done.
