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?

Then why don't you just.........subscribe to those communities instead of demanding it work like Reddit?

You're attacking me for explaining how Lemmy works under the implication of "like Reddit or not" while in the same breath screeching that it isn't like Reddit. If you want a Reddit clone go to a Reddit clone, what's so hard about that? Giving up the chance to bitch about devs with stated goals contrary to yours not doing the things you want?

I'm not attacking anyone, I'm saying it's a feature that people might like, that you could choose to simply not use, that doesn't interfere with the concept of a federated platform. You're the one who keeps bringing up reddit over and over.

Giving up the chance to bitch about devs with stated goals contrary to yours not doing the things you want?

What are you talking about? When have I complained about the devs?
