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 also would love to know the answer to this.

Maybe some functionality could be added to enable redirecting your local instance community to the more popular one? Is there any downside to something like that?

@bfr0 There were also multiple gaming communities within reddit, lets face it. Can't herd people all into one place even if there's only one website they'll find a way to schism

This is a nothing burger. Who cares if there's a hundred different cat instances. That's already what it was.

There can only be one orange cat instance? Give it a fucking break
