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?

Right, I had missed that and forgot about those (I actually just now after using Lemmy realised how annoying the fragmentation can sometimes be even with Reddit)

But it's not something that Lemmy needs to actually implement themselves. For example someone building a third party mobile app could just add it as an extra feature.

it'd be nice to have it as a lemmy feature though. for example, i got most of my reddit posts from reddit.com/user/zeus/m/reddit2rss/.rss, so i could view them in my feed reader. for lemmy i'd either have to have 100 different feeds, or find some other way
