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

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?

The first decade of Reddit’s life it was just pulling content from 4chan and Digg. I would not be surprised to see the fediverse operate similarly.

You're already seeing Karma farmers on the front page with the reposted piss meme, the north Korean awards memes, uncreative people will attempt to dilute any platform they can find.

Same people that copy your homework and pat themselves on the back or take credit at work for your idea.
