Getting the most out of fediverse communities (beehaw.org)

Hey all! recent reddit/twitter transplant and I'm trying to figure out how to get the most out of the fediverse and I really don't know? The lack of centralization is amazing, but it's also a bit overwhelming to try to figure out where people congregate and where to talk to people, especially when lemmy/kbin are so small relative to reddit. For those of you that have been here longer than a few days, how do you tend to engage with the fediverse? Any advice/places to hang out/content to recommend? Thanks!

My hope is they add multi communities of some sort. Where you can

A. Group like communities together and browse them by topic, similar to multireddits

And/or

B. Certain communities can join forces and automatically cross-post with each other to reduce duplication and fragmentation while still splitting load

How technically feasible the latter is, I don’t know. But it would be cool. I’m still prettt new to this type of setup.

Unfortunately I think it'd be complicated as far as moderation goes, because posts would have to be moderated across instances by different mods.
