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?

Yea that's pretty stupid. I don't see why information about new communities couldn't be propagated across instances.

Subscriber count is instance-specific I think, which does make some sense but then upvotes are apparently federated so idk
