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?

Let's give Lemmy time to evolve a bit. Maybe they'll add a feature like "if you see a post from multiple communities all to the same URL and posted within 5 hours of each other, only show me the post with the most upvotes/comments. Hide the rest."

There might be issues with that idea, but it's AN idea, and who knows maybe they'll come up with an even better idea. 🤷‍♂️
