Subscribing to a lot of communities (aussie.zone)

Back in the day, using Reddit, I only subscribed to one or two subs and would just type the name in Rif search to go to another. Jerboa doesn't allow that, and search doesn't always find the community. So when I see a post from a community I want to return to, I'm subscribing to it.

Is this a good idea? Is it causing increased load on the server end?

How are you managing communities?

Edit: thank you for all the replies. Very helpful.

Is this a good idea?

Yes, this is how lemmy is meant to be used.

Is it causing increased load on the server end?

Maybe, if you're the only person on the instance that's subscribed to that community but it's not abnormal usage.
