One of the biggest issues I'm having trouble getting past with Lemmy is not knowing which communities to subscribe to.

An example, if there are like 10+ different communities for "technology", do I really have to subscribe to all of them just to get the same experience I would have gotten on /r/technology?

Is there a way to "clump" these communities together so I can just subscribe to one "multi-community" that houses the posts from all of them?

Subscribing to 10 technology communities will likely get you a much, much more vibrant experience than just subbing to r/technology. People actually, you know, discuss things in smaller spaces, rather than just drop drive-by comments that no one will ever read.

Or it'll get you a dozen dupes of every submission.

As Lemmy grows, communities on certain servers will die out and some will accumulate all the users. I think the problem will die out eventually.

Though, I think there should be some way to migrate users of a community to a new server. Sounds hard to implement but maybe doable.
