As a new reddit exile, I may be misunderstanding this.

In theory something like a !gaming community could crop up on multiple large instances, especially during the mass exodus while instances are getting hammered with spikes in volume.

If that’s the case, we’ll have fragmented communities across instances. Is there any way besides subscribing to each of them to combine them into a sort of multi-reddit type aggregation? Or is this considered a temporary (albeit important to adoption) problem during the crazy stages?

    But then you have the same problem all over again, just at a different scale. If multiple people create those feeds according to their personal tastes, how do you decide which one to use? It’s unlikely that any of them offer the content you want and nothing more, so you’d still have to tweak them to add the stuff that’s missing or remove the stuff you don’t care about. Yes, technically it’s an improvement because you no longer need to do all the work yourself, but it would still suck.
