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?

And then they build their own cottages, and mcmansions, and apartment blocks, along with all the noise and detritus... and now your cozy little cottage is just a house in bustling village

    Ah, but we like a bustling village. We want a bustling village! That means more friends to visit our porch, and more porches for us to go visit. (Village = Fediverse)

    Take shelter in my cottage, be kind, get your feet back under you. When you’ve caught your breath start building your cottage/McMansion/apartment block. Ask the neighbors for help, they like helping. When you’ve got yours built and you’ve moved in, come join the porch parties and have a celebratory beer or glass of wine or cup of tea!

    (really pushing the metaphor, I know… humor me!)
