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?

My wacky solution for this would be to make use of kbin's microblogging feature to see which magazines are associated with what tags, then suggest magazines with similar tag profiles. However, this doesn't really help with cross-pollinating Lemmy-based communities.

Multireddits would be nice, as would some actual activity in the fediverse that isn't just talking about the fediverse.
