Is there a way to subscribe to all communities with the same name? - eviltoast

Is it possible to automatically subscribe to all (federated) communities with the same name?

Example in the screenshot: I want to follow !astronomy, and I don’t really care whether the content is coming from from Lemmy.World, kbin.social and mander.xyz - I just want to see it all.

Obviously I could manually subscribe to them all, but is it possible to do so automatically? Ideally if a new similar community pops up on another instance, I wouldn’t miss it.

I read here that community grouping is a thing, so that instances with identical communities can work together. Is that a feature that could work towards this end?

    Beep boop bop, for some reason I got a reminder and you didn’t, so here is your human-generated reminder:

    3 hours have passed. The name of the app has since been posted: Nemmy

      Thanks! Also, the bot did answer me but it took a little longer than the reddit remindme bot. Reminder was on time tho.

      You got the reminder because you also summoned it. Dunno how/if we can summon it for other people.
