How do I deal with "fractured" communities? (self.fediverse)

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?

It's about ease of use. If there are two very similar communitites both with decent amount of content that interests you, you want to follow both and you don't want to think about which is which. You don't care. You want the content.
