Is there a way for communities to combine together? (self.meta)

There are tons of Rust communities spread on multiple instances. Is the expectation that users interested in rust should just subscribe to all of these? Is there a community which aggregates posts from all rust communities together into one?

It would be great to have a way for communities to voluntarily marge and consolidate once things settle down. I can already see a lot of fragmentation of topics that honestly are never going to be big enough to sustain multiple communities. The flip side of that is that rogue mods could abuse that to merge unrelated subreddits, I guess.

Otherwise, "multireddits" would be great, it was the main way I accessed the other site.

the Android communities seemed to have no problem merging, the content doesn't move with them but keeping the old community locked seems good enough
