Question about a small aspect of Lemmy etiquette (self.casualconversation)

Asking this here because it might be a strange question or open for debate.

A habit that I have carried over with me from Reddit is subscribing to every community that I think I'll be participating in. But I'm kinda thinking of unsubbing from all of the news and politics communities that are always in the 'All' tab anyway and keeping my subscriptions to everything other than news and politics. I'd still like to throw in hot takes / shit takes if I feel so inclined but want to seperate it from my main feed.

My question is, is it frowned upon to participate somewhere that you're not subscribed to if it's not going to be once in a blue moon? Or a hassle for moderators? I've looked up if there's a Lemmy equivalent of multireddits and from what I can surmise in this Github thread, people are still spitballing ideas but nothing concrete yet. So it seems that method is out of the question for now.

Edit: just had another thought that I don't want to make another thread about but need to get off my mind. From an app perspective and the Subscribed / Local / All tabs, and comparing that to a place like Bluesky with all the different feeds that you can add or remove, it would be nice if you could have tabs that are specific to instances. For example adding a Blåhaj tab from here in the .world instance I'm signed up on. Basically accessing the 'Local' feeds of other instances from one place.

Was it ever part of reddiquette to only comment in subs to which you had subbed? This is the very first I'm hearing about it.

Yeah I've been realising that was probably a dumb question but I'm still kinda getting my head around the different instances and politics between them. And not sure exactly what moderators / admins see or accept either. It's been informative either way, like finding out there's an instance that bans non subscribers for downvoting. But yeah, overall something stupid to be worried about, actually.
