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?

True enough. In any case, it would be beneficial from a UX standpoint to have something that lets users combine the feeds of multiple communities into one. I think there's probably something clever that can be done (or maybe something simple, this likely doesn't need to be overly complex) to solve this, I'm just too tired to really give it the thought it deserves.
