How to handle multiple magazines on the same subject but on different instances? (lemm.ee)

How do y'all handle reading and posting to multiple magazines on the same subject? As an example, 3D printing is a hobby of mine. I searched and found 3 different primary magazines and 2 adjacent (see below). Is there a point to the 2nd and 3rd most popular ones? Do I subscribe to them all? Do I post to one or to all? Do the lemmy.ml users see the lemmy.world posts? I'm confused.

I have some duplicate communities as well. It would be handy to be able to group them, but at this point comments just show up on my subscribed front page with the rest of my subscribed communities. It's transparent there, but when you go to a particular community, you can only look at duplicates individually.
