For example, I'm on Lemmy.ml and I've joined !photography@lemmy.ml, !photography@lemmy.world, and !photography@kbin.social. In this example, it's not very different from the number of similar groups on Flickr but, in comparison to Reddit, it seems like the decentralized platform can be a little unruly.

How are you going about joining different communities and managing your engagement? Are you only participating on the community on your instance? Are you joining and posting in as many instances that seem relevant?

It would be great to be able to merge communities and filter duplicates. Kind of like multireddit.

I'm posting to the communities that seem active enough for me.

I actually think Lemmy should take a page from Mastodon here. Instead of users creating groups (which sounds like a huge headache to implement smoothly), Lemmy should add hashtags or something similar. So I would sub to #photography and people posting would be restricted to a max number of hashtags (TBD). You can then choose to stay subbed to the hashtag and/or sub to the communities that crop up frequently on your feed and then unsub from the hashtag if you want.
