How to handle multiple magazines on the same subject but on different instances? (lemm.ee)

How do y'all handle reading and posting to multiple magazines on the same subject? As an example, 3D printing is a hobby of mine. I searched and found 3 different primary magazines and 2 adjacent (see below). Is there a point to the 2nd and 3rd most popular ones? Do I subscribe to them all? Do I post to one or to all? Do the lemmy.ml users see the lemmy.world posts? I'm confused.

I have a habit of sorting things out frequently. Spotify Playlists, YouTube Subscriptions, Subreddits. Every now and then I go through them all and throw things out the window I’m not interested in anymore.

So, when I signed up here I subscribed to anything that sounded promising. Some of these communities are exactly the same just on different instances.

Eventually one of them will be victorious and that’s gonna be the one I will continue to follow.

It’s pretty handy because I rather subscribe to stuff which I am not that interested in. Sometimes it prevails and I find something new to obsess over.
