I honestly wouldn't want that, a feature like multi-reddit would be much better IMO.
I personally don't want to be "automatically" subscribed to all tech communities for example just because I joined one, nor I want to be flood by an immense feed because all communities of the same type are put all together, that takes away individual choices IMO.
We had exactly the same problem on reddit, but multi-reddit solved that very well by leaving the choice to individuals instead of being forced by admins.
EDIT: for those who don't know, multi-reddit is a reddit feature that allows you to create different "labels" into which you can combine different subreddits, which label to create and which subs to combine is totally a user choice, those labels become "tabs" into your UI that you can use as they were individual subs.
So for example, I can create a label/tab called "linux" and use it to combine r/linux + r/linuxmx + r/xfce, etc., than I can create another label called "games" and combine r/MMORPG + r/wow + r/guildwars2, etc., and so on.
multi-reddits can be private, that is only the user who created them can see them, or they can be made public, so if some user doesn't want to create their own, they can use multis created by other people.
join a meme sub
get joined to 15 meme subs
every meme is posted 15 times

I like this idea, however it would need to be intuitive to use and clearly advertised as a feature with a plain explanation up front. I say this because I'd never heard of this feature before and I used reddit for over 15 years (had to Google how it worked after seeing your comment).
Yes, users need ofc explanations, but that can be easily done, as much as people here are trying their best now to explain people the fediverse, that is quite more difficult to grasp IMO than a multi-reddit feature.
I like this idea better, also it shouldnโt be as hard to implement?
I am in this picture and I don't like it. Lmao I literally had a multi-reddit called Linux.
Exactly. Just because I join a US politics sub doesn't mean I want to join all US politics subs. The fact they are separate means I can find one that fits me. If this was reddit, joining /r/moderatepolitics would automatically sub you to /r/politics. Fuck that.
