Part of the problem is discoverability. If people don't use my instance, they rarely know we have independent communities like [email protected]. Some, like [email protected] are really shadowed by larger versions where some sort of multi community subscription could help a lot.

I think part of the solution is to normalize the idea that you subscribe to all the communities on a topic you're interested in, even if they're small, so wherever something gets posted, you see it. Eventually some of those communities may be closed in favor of the more active ones, but as a subscriber, there's no opportunity cost.
