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?

It's okay to not know something. We aren't born with perfect knowledge of subreddits. Reddit was just as confusing at first.

You're right. After almost a decade and a half on reddit, I'd forgotten that it also had a learning curve when I first came across it.

I guess that speaks to how terrible the official reddit app is, I'd rather learn a whole new site with a whole new framework than view reddit without RiF is Fun.
