How do y’all handle reading and posting to multiple magazines on the same subject? As an example, 3D printing is a hobby of mine. I searched and found 3 different primary magazines and 2 adjacent (see below). Is there a point to the 2nd and 3rd most popular ones? Do I subscribe to them all? Do I post to one or to all? Do the lemmy.ml users see the lemmy.world posts? I’m confused.

    That’s definitely on my Lemmy wishlist – some way to create merged communities. As it is now, there’s too much potential for fragmentation across instances.

    As of now, I just subscribe to whichever instance’s community is the most active / has the most subscribers, which feels sub-optimal.
