How do I deal with "fractured" communities?

posted 1 year ago

One of the biggest issues I’m having trouble getting past with Lemmy is not knowing which communities to subscribe to.

An example, if there are like 10+ different communities for “technology”, do I really have to subscribe to all of them just to get the same experience I would have gotten on /r/technology?

Is there a way to “clump” these communities together so I can just subscribe to one “multi-community” that houses the posts from all of them?

Yea that’s pretty stupid. I don’t see why information about new communities couldn’t be propagated across instances.

Subscriber count is instance-specific I think, which does make some sense but then upvotes are apparently federated so idk
