Redundant communities across instances (self.lemmyworld)

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 think the real solution is to have something similar to an rss feed that can aggregate several different instances of the "same" sub. Like maybe a central server, but it only has the info to gather data from all other servers or something
