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?

I can get that, and have been overall understanding. I've been trying to do my part to explain this isn't that - it's the uptick in hostility over it that has me irate. "I don't get it," "not for me," all fine. "Devs need to make it work like Reddit or else" can fuck off.

I hear you. Yes, not a fan of people being hostile just because something is different.

I'm just hoping that people who enjoy this experience will stay and that more people who also like this experience will join, and that people who want everything to be exactly like Reddit will return to Reddit or to some Reddit-like platform that works exactly like Reddit.
