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?

I would love for instances focused on their own topics. mandra.xyz is all about science and exploration. The only reason we dont have a gaming focused instance is that we simply havent done it

I’m on lemmy.world because it’s federated with everything else as far as I know. Something like that would be good if you are ONLY interested in those topics. Otherwise you have to log onto another instance. I had signed up for several different instances and realized world is the best fit for me since I just like to browse random stuff. But yeah if you’re just interested in say fishing and thats all, then that makes sense.

can’t you login to lemmy.world, then go join communities on gamingfocus.xyz and still be logged in?

That seems to be how it works for me if I go to communities on the beehaw.org instance. You just change the community search from local to all.
