I asked the same question yesterday and ultimately found this post.

It seems like it's going to have to evolve organically. Federating individual communities might work, like if you're subscribed to [email protected] it could also pull in posts from [email protected] and other similar communities on a voluntary basis. It is a problem that needs solving though.

Yeah, been trying to learn Rust & Typescript to contribute towards a multireddit feature, but it's definitely an uphill struggle. I'm out of my depth.

Overall though, the fragmentation is mainly just users trying to make this "Reddit 2.0" instead of letting it develop more naturally, and spamming new communities like mad.

In terms of actually active subreddits with actual users & posts & whatnot, which of these 5 is the "real" technology subreddit?

/r/Tech /r/Technology /r/TechNews /r/Computing /r/TechSupport

I could continue, but there's a lot more. I don't think most redditors understand how fragmented everything is.
