How do I deal with "fractured" communities? (lemmy.world)

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?

Just subscribe to all of them if you're that worried about missing something. It's really not that complicated.

Also, stop worrying about reenacting your Reddit experience. Lemmy is not Reddit. Figure out what you like about Lemmy and focus on enhancing that instead of stressing about forcing Lemmy into your preconceived notion of what it should be.

This is pretty much what I'm doing.

If sub.rehab shows 5 threadiverse alternatives for a subreddit, I'll have a look at each and often sub to 2-3 with the highest subscriber count/posts I like. I'll then monitor them over time to see which, if any, to unsub from.
